Description

Acceleration pedal for CITROEN C5 III and PEUGEOT 407

Part description

This gas pedal (acceleration pedal) from Bosch is intended for the Citroën and Peugeot cars listed in the documents. It is a part from the category electric components / potentiometers, gas. pedalswhich converts pedal depression into an electrical signal for motor control. In the event of a malfunction, it is often solved due to irregular response to the throttle or limited power – replacing the entire pedal is usually the fastest and surest way to restore the correct response.

For correct identification, it is key to compare the part number (OEM and Bosch) as the pedals may differ in connector and electronics version.

Installation recommendations

Generally/typically applies to gas pedal replacement (electronic part); the exact steps may vary depending on the specific car model.

1) Before assembly

• Compare with old part OEM/Bosch numbers (9685216080, 0280755125) and matching other codes (1601Z0, 1601EK).
• Check the connector (shape, number of pins, securing) and undamaged pins without oxidation.
• Check that the body of the pedal is not cracked and that the pedal moves smoothly without stuttering.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Common set of ratchets/bits and screwdrivers
• Plastic pry bar for removing covers (according to design)
• A clean cloth, or a product for cleaning electrical contacts

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Turn off the ignition, remove the key / turn off the system and wait for the vehicle to “sleep”.
2. Disconnect the battery (error prevention and electronics protection).
3. Get access to the pedal – depending on the design, it may be necessary to remove the lower covers in the pedal area.
4. Disconnect the electrical connector of the pedal: unlock the fuse and pull the connector without prying the wiring.
5. Undo the pedal fasteners and remove the pedal.
6. Compare the old and new piece again (shape, fit, connector, numbers).
7. Mount the pedal in place and tighten the fasteners evenly (without pulling).
8. Connect the connector – it must fit clearly and secure with a fuse.
9. Put back any covers.
10. Connect the battery.
11. Turn on the ignition and let the system read the values (without pressing the pedal for the first time).

• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification

  • Verify a smooth throttle response on site (without signal fluctuations and dropouts).
  • If the warning lights come on after replacement or the car goes into emergency mode, perform diagnostics and check the connector wiring.
  • Do a short test drive and observe the smoothness of the acceleration in different load modes.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Wrong part by numbers – the matching of codes (OEM and Bosch) is always decisive, not just appearance.
  • Damage to the connector/pins when disconnecting – remove the fuse, do not pull on the cables.
  • Mounting without disconnecting the battery – may cause errors in the system; disconnect the battery before working.
  • Loose attachment – leads to unwanted movement of the pedal; check for strength and stability after assembly.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Wear of the sensor/potentiometer in the pedal due to long-term use (unstable signal).
  • Intrusion of moisture and subsequent oxidation of the contacts in the connector or in the body of the part.
  • Mechanical damage (cracks, deformation) after hitting the pedal area or during unprofessional disassembly.
