Video tutorial

The vehicle referenced in the video is a Peugeot 207 1.4 VTi with the EP3A engine, known for the internal plastic gear that strips, causing fluctuating idle, stalling, and the throttle remaining stuck in the open position. The YouTuber resolves this by changing the throttle body and gasket.

You can find the part on auto-doc.it with the EAN code 4059191534432 for £107.99 + £9.95 for shipping (gasket not included). Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, remove the air filter to make space, disconnect the electrical connector and connected hoses, unscrew the fixing screw, and finally remove the throttle body; be careful of the old gasket that may stick to the manifold.

Remove it and clean the seat well, then fit the new gasket, insert the new throttle body tightening the three screws, and reconnect the hoses and electrical connectors. Now, start the adaptation procedure: turn on the ignition and you will hear buzzing sounds: the throttle valve is learning the opening and closing points.

Wait until the noises stop, turn off the ignition and remove the key; wait 10 seconds and then start the engine. You can take it for a test drive.
