Hi all, I've got some issues with my drive by wire panda 4x4 from '06. It's hesitant to come down to idle (revs come down in steps rather than smoothly) it's slow to respond, there's a definitive delay between my foot and the throttle plate and it gives a really disconnected feel when I'm driving that I've never had on mechanical throttle cars (earlier 169 gen panda's included).
Is there a way to convert to manual throttle with a cable like on other 1.2 fire engines? Do I just need throttle body, pedal and cable or do I need different engine ecu, body control module and start mucking about with immobiliser gubbins? Ideally I'd like this to be as simple as pulling the right wires out and swapping the mechanical parts in, weekends work kinda sketch? Or is there a fix to make my E-throttle behave like a mechanical link?

not easy

The engine and ECU is unique for the 4X4

Some of the wiring harness is unique to the 4x4

The engine is different and has a different camshaft for low down torque

Most 1.2 dynamics are flyby wire throttle bodies

The throttle bodies are not the same though

Your throttle body is unique and only used on the dualogic and 4X4


It would be easier to fix what you have

hesitant to come down to idle is not right

A good start would be to use a scan tool and read the two tracks on the throttle pedal
