Description
Throttle potentiometer, BOSCH accelerator pedal for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles
Product Overview
This Bosch accelerator pedal module incorporates a throttle potentiometer (accelerator position sensor) designed for Stellantis Citroën and Peugeot models. Built for workshops and DIY mechanics, the unit restores precise throttle response, eliminates erratic idle or hesitation caused by worn sensors, and is often searched for by OE and Bosch part numbers. The robust construction and OEM fitment make it suitable for direct replacement in affected vehicles.
Fitment
Direct fit for a number of Citroën and Peugeot applications, commonly found on:
- Citroën C2
- Citroën C3
- Citroën C3 Pluriel
- Peugeot 1007
- Peugeot 307
Customers frequently search by part numbers: Bosch 0280752235, 280752235, OE 9645851580, 1601K7 and 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.
