Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for gas pedal replacement (electrical part) the exact steps may vary depending on the specific car model.

1) Before assembly

• Compare the new and original pedal: connector, shape, mounting and especially numbers 1601Z0 / 1601EK.
• Check the condition of the connector (bent pins, play), pedal body and mounting.
• It is recommended to disconnect the battery before handling the electrical connectors in the interior.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Basic set of gola/ratchet and extension (depending on the type of fastening)
• Screwdrivers / plastic pry bar for caps (if it interferes)
• Flashlight
• Contact cleaner (optional) and a clean cloth

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Secure the vehicle against movement and turn off the ignition.
2. Disconnect the battery (minimizing the risk of short circuits and error conditions).
3. Make the pedal space accessible (or remove the obstructing cover/trim).
4. Locate the accelerator pedal connector and carefully disconnect it (do not pull on the wiring).
5. Loosen the pedal fasteners and remove the pedal.
6. Clean the landing surface and check that the wiring is not damaged or pinched.
7. Mount the replacement pedal in its original position and fasten it.
8. Connect the electrical connector – it must click firmly.
9. Put back any covers/trims.
10. Connect the battery.
11. Turn on the ignition and check the pedal’s basic function (smooth operation without jamming).
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Check that there are no warnings on the instrument panel and that the engine responds smoothly to addition.
  • Do a short test ride and verify the smooth response throughout the pedal range.
  • If the symptoms do not change, check the connector, the wiring and the correct seating of the pedal.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Unsecured/poorly engaged connector → always check the locking and firmness of the connection.
  • Pulling on the wiring when disconnecting → disconnect by the body of the connector.
  • Exchanging a part without checking the numbers → compare 1601Z0 / 1601EK and the design of the connector before assembly.
  • Pinched wiring after mounting the covers → run the wiring the same way as from the factory.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Wear of the position sensor due to long-term use (unstable signal, blackouts).
  • Intrusion of dirt/moisture into the area of pedals and connectors.
  • Damage to the connector or wiring (loose pins, oxidized contacts, mechanical stress).
  • Incompetent handling during disassembly/assembly (cracks in the pedal body, torn fastening).
