Purpose and function in the drivetrain

The presented gas pedal assembly is a "drive-by-wire" electronic throttle control component used in the Audi R8 42 Spyder. It is responsible for converting the driver's foot movement into an electrical signal transmitted to the engine control unit, which enables smooth torque delivery and stable engine operation across the full load range.

Thanks to the OEM design, the correct pedal travel characteristics, response linearity, and compatibility with factory engine control software are maintained, which is important for both dynamic driving and urban conditions.

Construction and technical advantages

The accelerator pedal assembly integrates the mechanical pedal with an electronic module, which simplifies installation and reduces the number of connections in the driver's compartment. This solution provides:

• stable mounting to factory body points,
• consistency with the vehicle's original wiring harness,
• properly calibrated pressure force, facilitating precise throttle control.

As an original Audi component from the Pedals, pedal pads and footrests category, the part maintains factory operating parameters, which is essential for preserving the stock engine characteristics and proper cooperation with safety and traction control systems.

Condition, origin, and service application

The item is offered in used condition, which allows for an economical replacement of a damaged or worn pedal while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, replacement after a pedal position sensor failure, or restoring full vehicle functionality after interference with the electrical system.

In workshop practice, using a used OEM component shortens repair time, reduces the need for adaptation, and minimizes the risk of compatibility issues typical of aftermarket replacements of uncertain origin.

Compatibility and replacement numbers

The gas pedal assembly has a dedicated OEM part number and associated replacement numbers, which facilitates clear identification in Audi catalogs and service systems. This makes it possible to quickly verify compatibility with a specific Audi R8 42 Spyder configuration, as well as compare it with other references used within the same platform.

Before purchasing, it is recommended to verify compatibility by part number in the vehicle documentation or catalog system, which helps avoid installation errors and ensures proper cooperation with engine electronics.

Support with selection and control system expansion
