Peugeot 106 Intercooler Replacement Parts

The vast majority of Peugeot 106 engines are naturally aspirated petrol units, and naturally aspirated engines do not have an intercooler. The only 106 variant that could have an intercooler is the 1.5 diesel (TUD5 engine), which in some applications used a turbocharger — however, many of these diesel 106s were non-intercooled turbos, and a true intercooled version on the 106 is extremely rare if it exists in production trim at all. If you have a diesel 106 and believe it has a turbo, confirm with a breaker whether your specific engine code and spec actually includes an intercooler before ordering anything.

The 1.5 diesel TUD5 found in the 106 was turbocharged in some forms, but turbocharging alone does not guarantee an intercooler — many turbodiesel setups of that era ran without one. If your 106 does have an intercooler fitted, it would be a highly specific configuration, and you should check your engine code from the V5 or a VIN check and confirm the exact setup with a breaker before searching for a replacement part.

It is quite possible — on a naturally aspirated 106 petrol, there is no intercooler, but there is a radiator, an air filter housing, and associated inlet ducting that can sometimes be mistaken for charge-cooling components. If you have a petrol 106 (including the GTI and Rallye), the part you are looking for is almost certainly a radiator, thermostat housing, or inlet manifold component rather than an intercooler. Describe the location and appearance of the part to a breaker and they will be able to identify it correctly from your registration.

No — both the 106 GTI (using the TU5J4 1.6 16v engine) and the 106 Rallye (using the TU series engines in various states of tune) are naturally aspirated petrol engines, meaning they have no turbocharger and therefore no intercooler. These are high-revving, non-forced-induction engines, so an intercooler is simply not part of their design. If you are working on a GTI or Rallye and need a cooling-related part, a breaker can help you identify the correct radiator or ancillary component from your registration number.

The Peugeot 106 ran across two generations — Phase 1 from 1991 to 1996, and Phase 2 from 1996 to 2003 — and across both generations the overwhelming majority of engine options were naturally aspirated petrol units with no intercooler at any point in the range. The 1.5 diesel with turbo appeared in limited form, but a factory-fitted intercooler on a standard production 106 of any year is not something that can be confirmed with confidence. If you believe your specific 106 has an intercooler, supply your engine code to a breaker who can verify it rather than searching by year alone.
