This Bosch accelerator pedal potentiometer is a direct-fit sensor module used on a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. Designed for professional garages and experienced DIYers, the unit monitors pedal position and sends a precise voltage signal to the engine control system to control throttle response and drive-by-wire functions. Commonly searched by OE numbers, this part replaces worn or faulty pedals that cause unstable idle, delayed throttle response, or engine management warnings.

Features And Benefits

Reliable Bosch Electronics: High-quality sensing components provide consistent position feedback and long service life when installed correctly. Compact Plug-And-Play Form Factor: Matches the original mounting points and electrical connector for straightforward replacement. Improves Driveability: Restores accurate throttle mapping and reduces hesitation, surging, or limp-home mode symptoms caused by a failing potentiometer.

Typical Symptoms Of A Faulty Unit

Intermittent Or Erratic Throttle Response; Engine Management Light (Warning Lamp) Illuminated; Reduced Engine Power / Limp Mode Activated; Jerky Idling Or Stalling At Low Speeds; Increased Fuel Consumption Or Poor Acceleration; Electrical Connector Faults Or Corrosion.

Why This Part Fails

Wear Of Internal Potentiometer Tracks Over Time Due To Mechanical Use; Contamination From Dust, Moisture Or Road Debris Entering The Pedal Assembly; Connector Corrosion Or Broken Pins Causing Intermittent Signals; Physical Damage From Impact Or Improper Removal; Internal Electronic Component Failure.

Installation Recommendations

Safety First: Disconnect The Battery Before Starting Work To Avoid Electrical Damage Or Faults. Access: Remove Lower Dashboard Trim/Pedal Cover In The Driver Footwell To Reach The Pedal Assembly. Electrical Disconnection: Unclip The Electrical Connector Carefully And Inspect For Corrosion Or Damaged Pins. Mechanical Removal: Unscrew The Mounting Bolts Securing The Pedal Module, Remove The Old Unit And Install The Replacement In The Same Orientation. Reconnection: Reattach The Connector Firmly And Refit Trim Panels. Post-Installation: Clear Any Stored Fault Codes With A Diagnostic Tool And Perform A Throttle Adaptation/Relearn Procedure If Required By The Manufacturer; Some Vehicles May Require A Scan Tool To Reset Throttle Calibration.

Technical Information

• Manufacturer: Bosch
• Model: Accelerator Pedal Potentiometer / Throttle Position Sensor
• Product Codes: 0280752235
• Other Numbers: 9645851580, 1601K7, 280752235, NFP

Replacement Procedure

Typical replacement is straightforward for a competent mechanic or experienced DIYer. General steps:

• Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting work to avoid electrical damage and accidental throttle activation.
• Remove lower dash trim or footwell cover to access the pedal assembly.
• Unplug the electrical connector from the pedal sensor—avoid pulling on wires.
• Remove mounting bolts securing the pedal module to the pedal box or firewall and extract the old unit.
• Install the new pedal, torque bolts to manufacturer specifications, reconnect the connector and reassemble trim.
• Clear any stored fault codes and perform throttle relearn/idle adaptation using an appropriate diagnostic tool to ensure correct throttle mapping and drivability.

Installation Recommendations

• Always Disconnect The Battery Before Removing Or Installing The Pedal Module.
• Protect Connectors And Wiring: Inspect and, if necessary, repair the wiring harness and connector pins before fitting the new unit.
• Use The Correct Tools And Specified Torque Values For Fasteners To Prevent Damage.
• Perform A Diagnostic Check And Throttle Relearn After Installation To Avoid Limp Modes Or Fault Codes.
• Test Drive Carefully After Replacement To Confirm Smooth Throttle Response Across The Full Range.

Why The Part Most Commonly Fails

Accelerator potentiometers typically fail due to internal wear of the sensor elements and contacts, contamination from dust or moisture, connector corrosion, or mechanical stress from heavy usage. Symptoms include intermittent throttle response, hesitation, surging, or persistent throttle-related fault codes. Electrical issues in the wiring loom or damaged connectors can mimic sensor failure, so a careful diagnosis is recommended before replacement.

Notes For Mechanics And DIY Enthusiasts

This part is ideal for professional garages and competent home mechanics who need a reliable replacement with OEM compatibility. Because many searches are performed using part numbers, reference the listed product codes when ordering or checking fitment to ensure you receive the correct unit.
