Am I seeing things, or is that a VW Audi part that Citroen is using? If so, there must be loads of highly reliable German cars (?) having similar problems. When searched, the part nos. actually come up as a Throttle Position Sensor for various VWs / Audis. Would the part therefore be available and cheaper for those cars, as they make far more cars? Mine seem to work fine (that does it!!), so long as I occasionally squirt a little Ferrosol in through that little aperture when closed. Ferrosol was recommended by someone on here specifically for this purpose and it is great stuff, with multiple uses. It's much better than WD40 as a penetrating fluid, for example.

While we are on the topic of mirrors... Does someone know if the "facelift" mirrors with the more rectangular shape can be installed in place of the original oval mirrors on a pre-2009 C6?

Yes, the later mirrors can be installed on an earlier car; mounting points are identical and electrical connectors are the same. I tried it once.

Sounds interesting.

And the folding/unfolding and reverse parking tilting worked without problems?

Yes, all the functions worked correctly.
