The car is a 1.4 hdi, just wondering if anyone else has this and if it can be improved in any way?

Mine was like this and my brother adjusted it, he reckons the cable had stretched,

Some 206s have an electric throttle body rather than cable which don't exactly have the best throttle response, rather than being direct to a cable that opens the butterfly, an electric one sends signals to the ECU which then determines engine speed, load and other parameters before deciding how much to open the butterfly. I've been told a remap can tinker with the electric throttles responsiveness to improve it, but I don't know for sure

Adjust this between 10-15 knotches and this should let the throttle be more responsive.
