Title: Accelerator fitting plug and play or code?
Post by: neil86 on November 14, 2012, 08:44:39 am

Basically fitting my new pedals can I just plug this in or does it require coding. If plug and play I don't need to disconnect battery do I?

Ta in advance for info.

I just plugged mine in and away I went. Didn't disconnect the battery or do any coding. Don't know if thats the right way of doing it but that was 12mths ago and all is well.

IIRC your supposed to do a throttle body adaptation if the accelerator pedal is replaced  :happy2:
