Can anyone tell me

 

Were about is it located?

In all Peugeot Citroen cars I've dealt with it's usually behind the battery, close to the bulkhead where a LHD car would have the throttle pedal on the other side of the bulkhead.

 

There is a cable going into it, and a half wheel on which the cable runs.

 

It's a sealed unit so it can't be repaired (as far as I know).

 

Why do you think there is something wrong with it? You haven't actually posted the details of the fault. It might be the MAF sensor?

 

I will try and link to an image here if you ask.

 

It would make sense to simply buy the Haynes Manual if you wish to try and fix this car.

You haven't told us what the fault with the car is - you're making it hard for yourself.

 

This is the TPS close up.

This is a wider shot to give you an idea of location. This is a 2.2 diesel but they are not that different:

Haynes is a bit vague, whilst showing a tps in the engine management line drawing (for your engine) and then saying it may be part of the throttle body (fig 13.27 ?).
