Description
Throttle pedal for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. May be manufactured by HELLA or BOSCH.
The accelerator pedal assembly is a direct replacement part designed for drive-by-wire throttle systems in a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. It converts driver input into an electrical signal for the engine control unit (ECU), ensuring accurate throttle response and smooth engine management. This unit is frequently searched by part numbers such as 9681844080, 1601Z6 and 0280755128, making it easy for workshops and DIY mechanics to locate the correct item.
Ideal for professional fitting but suitable for experienced DIY repairers, the pedal is often a plug-and-play component; however some vehicles may require electronic adaptation after fitment. Use this part to restore proper throttle behaviour, eliminate erratic acceleration symptoms and clear related diagnostic trouble codes.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis / OEM (May Be Manufactured By HELLA Or BOSCH)
- Model: Citroën C3; Peugeot 207
- Product Codes: 9681844080, 1601Z6, 0280755128

Installation Recommendation
- Disconnect the battery before starting to avoid electrical damage and airbag system issues.
- Remove lower dash trim or footwell covers to access the pedal assembly safely.
- Unplug the electrical connector and remove the retaining bolts securing the pedal to the bulkhead.
- Install the replacement pedal, tighten fasteners to the manufacturer’s specification, reconnect the electrical connector and refit trim panels.
- After installation, clear throttle-related fault codes and perform throttle adaptation or learning if required. For PSA vehicles this can be done with diagnostic tools such as DiagBox or other compatible scanners.
Why The Part Commonly Fails
Typical causes of failure are wear of internal potentiometers or sensors (leading to signal drift), contamination or corrosion from moisture and road debris, damaged wiring or connectors, and mechanical damage from impact. Symptoms include unstable idle, hesitation, unexpected surges in engine speed, warning lights related to throttle/pedal faults, or activation of limp-home mode.
Service Life And Practical Notes
There is no fixed replacement interval; lifespan depends on usage and environmental exposure. Failures are more likely after high mileage or prolonged exposure to moisture and road salt. When encountering progressive pedal-related faults or persistent diagnostic codes, replacement of the pedal assembly is recommended to restore safe and reliable throttle control.
