Description
Clutch actuator for Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo. For the SensoDrive automated gearbox. Tested – 100% functional. Removed from a vehicle with 48,000 km. Up to 2014.
This clutch actuator unit (part numbers 218245 / 1612909880) is a direct-fit replacement for SensoDrive robotized transmissions used on early Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo models. Designed for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics, the unit restores reliable clutch engagement and smooth gear changes in automated-manual systems. Replacing a failing actuator can remove judder, slipping or refusal to engage gears and brings the vehicle back to correct automatic clutch control.

Fitment And Application
The part fits SensoDrive automated manual transmissions fitted to the listed models up to 2014. Always confirm the year and gearbox type on the vehicle. This actuator was removed from a car with 48,000 km and is offered as a proven replacement unit.
Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect the battery before starting work and follow the manufacturer’s safety procedures.
- Raise the vehicle safely and access the gearbox area (consult the workshop manual for lift points and protection of surrounding components).
- Unplug the electrical connector and remove any protective covers or brackets securing the actuator to the gearbox.
- Remove the mounting bolts, swap the unit, and refit using the correct torque values specified in the repair manual.
- Reconnect the electrical connector and ensure all linkages are free-moving and correctly positioned.
- After installation, perform a functional check: start engine, allow the gearbox to enter its initialisation routine and test gear engagement in a safe environment.
- Some vehicles may require initialization or adaptation of the actuator via a PSA-compatible diagnostic tool (DiagBox/Lexia). If calibration is needed, have it performed with appropriate diagnostic equipment.
Why This Part Commonly Fails
- Electrical faults: Motor or internal electronics can fail due to age, heat or moisture ingress.
- Mechanical wear: Internal gears or sliders can wear or seize after long service, especially if contaminated by debris.
- Connector corrosion or wiring damage: Poor electrical contact leads to intermittent or complete loss of function.
- Overload from a worn clutch: Excessive slip or a degraded clutch pack increases actuator load and shortens its life.
Suitable for mechanics and experienced DIYers, this actuator offers a cost-effective route to restoring proper SensoDrive clutch control. Use the OE product codes 218245 and 1612909880 when searching for compatibility or when ordering replacement units to ensure a correct fit.
