Peugeot 207 Fuel Consumption Starting Issue

My 2010 Peugeot 207 diesel has high fuel consumption and starting issues at 269436 km. Diagnostics point to a defective throttle valve, specifically the accelerator pedal module. Has anyone else had this?

Hey, I had similar issues on my 207! High fuel consumption and it was a real pain to start. Did you check the air intake? It might be gunked up, affecting the engine idle.

Intriguing! Could you elaborate on the 'gunked up' air intake scenario? Specifically, how did you assess the throttle position and control valve?

Well, I'm not a pro, but a mechanic told me the gunk messes with the air/fuel mix. Honestly, I just took it to a workshop, and they sorted it out. Probably best if you do the same!

Acknowledged. I appreciate the insight; a workshop visit it is. The defective accelerator pedal module demanded replacement, costing 205€. Thanks!
