Description
Throttle Pedal Potentiometer HELLA for CITROËN C2, C3 and PEUGEOT 1007, 207, 307, 308
This genuine-design throttle pedal potentiometer is a direct-fit replacement for a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. Designed for workshop use and experienced DIYers, the sensor converts the mechanical pedal movement into an electrical signal for the engine control unit (ECU). Replacing a faulty pedal potentiometer restores correct throttle response, removes throttle-related fault codes, and returns driveability to normal.
Key Benefits
- Direct-fit replacement for original equipment dimensions and connector layout.
- Improves throttle accuracy and eliminates inconsistent accelerator response.
- Includes common OE reference numbers for fast lookup by part code.
- Suitable for professional garages and competent DIY mechanics.
Compatibility And Applications
Intended For: Citroën C2, Citroën C3 (including C3 Pluriel) and Peugeot 1007, Peugeot 207, Peugeot 307, Peugeot 308. Often searched by OE and aftermarket reference numbers listed below; verify fitment by matching the part numbers on the original unit.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Hella
- Model: Throttle Pedal Potentiometer
- Product Codes: 6PV009083-00; 9680756880

Function And Failure Symptoms
The pedal potentiometer measures pedal position and sends a proportional voltage signal to the ECU. When the sensor degrades or the electrical contacts wear, symptoms typically include intermittent throttle response, delayed acceleration, engine limp mode, or stored throttle/accelerator pedal sensor fault codes (P0120–P0124 family and manufacturer-specific codes). Faulty wiring or corroded connectors can produce similar faults.
Why This Part Fails
- Wear Of Internal Contact Tracks: Repeated use gradually wears the potentiometer tracks, causing signal drift or dead zones.
- Contamination And Corrosion: Moisture ingress or contaminants can corrode contacts and connectors.
- Mechanical Damage: Impact or excessive force on the pedal assembly can deform components or connectors.
- Electrical Issues: Short circuits, damaged wiring, or connector faults lead to intermittent signals.
- Typical Service Life: Depending on driving habits and environment, failures most commonly appear after high mileage (often beyond 80,000–150,000 km), but can occur earlier in harsh conditions.
Replacement Procedure (Overview)
Recommended For: Professional technicians and skilled DIYers. Basic steps:
- Park vehicle on level ground, engage parking brake and follow vehicle safety precautions.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on electrical components.
- Remove lower dash trim or pedal access panels to reach the pedal assembly.
- Unplug the electrical connector from the potentiometer and inspect for corrosion or damaged pins.
- Unbolt the pedal assembly or sensor retaining screws (retain original fasteners where applicable).
- Fit new potentiometer, secure to specified torque, reconnect the electrical connector and reassemble trim.
- Reconnect the battery, clear any throttle-related fault codes with a diagnostic tool and perform an idle/throttle adaptation if required by the manufacturer.
Installation Recommendations
- Always follow manufacturer torque values and reassembly sequence for pedals and trim.
- Check connector pins for corrosion or deformation; replace damaged connectors to prevent future faults.
- After installation clear relevant fault codes and perform any throttle/pedal adaptations prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer to ensure correct calibration.
- When in doubt, use a diagnostic tool to monitor pedal voltage/signal during operation to confirm correct behavior before road testing.
Why Choose This Part
High-quality design from a known supplier makes this throttle pedal potentiometer a reliable replacement for common wear-related faults on Citroën and Peugeot models listed. It carries the key OEM reference numbers for quick identification and is intended to restore precise pedal control and engine response.
