Looking for advice on engine problems and throttle valve on Citroen DS4

Hi mate, I had a similar problem with my Citroen DS3, which is only two years older than yours. I'm not a car mechanic, but I have a bit of experience because I like tinkering with my car. In my case, however, it wasn't the throttle valve that was broken, but the accelerator pedal module. I then went to my regular garage and the mechanic replaced it. That cost me 205 euros. I hope that helps you. Can you perhaps give me the information about your vehicle? Maybe then I could help you more specifically. Greetings, your forum buddy

Hi there, thanks for the quick response! The accelerator pedal module could of course also be the culprit, I hadn't considered that. As I said, mine is a DS4 from 2014 with a gasoline engine. It currently has 68269km on it and the last service was six months ago. If it doesn't get any better, I'll probably have to visit the garage. Thanks again for the tip! See you then, your forum buddy

Hi, with this information it really sounds like a problem with the accelerator pedal. It's really difficult to say exactly what the problem could be. But in my case, the symptoms were pretty similar and the garage replaced the accelerator pedal module. That also helped. You can keep watching to see if the problem resolves itself. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend going to the garage. They can then test it more thoroughly and see whether it really is the module or perhaps something else. Hopefully I've been able to help you a little and you'll soon be able to track down the culprit. Best regards, your forum buddy

Hello, thank you very much for the additional information and advice. I will keep your suggestion in mind and check the accelerator pedal more closely. Hopefully it will turn out to actually be the problem and I can solve it quickly before it gets worse. Otherwise I will take it to the garage as you recommended. Thanks again! See you soon, your forum buddy
