Bad pots in my G25

[Charlie Woods]

I think the throttle pot is going bad as it starts to jump up and down. Any ideals to fix them. Logistec does not sell replacment parts. Need to temp. fix until G27 comes out.
Thats what happened to me at Darlington with inconsistance lap times.

Charlie... Go get yourself a can of "tuner control cleaner & lubricant" at Radio Shack (or order a can of DeoxIT D5 contact cleaner) and spray it into the pot through whatever crack or opening you can find. That ought to get you set for at least a few weeks if not longer. Been a long time since I needed to clean pots, but that stuff worked wonders at bringing them back to life even if it was only temporary.

If you end up needing to replace pots, Digikey may carry the ones you need.

Thanks Steve i'll give it a try.

Same exact thing started happening to me tonight before my Pro race. :(
Had to use my old Momo pedals. Was not fun. LOL
Seriously there are no replacement parts from Logitech for a $300 wheel? I've only had it a little over a year. Not impressed......

Try the stuff that Steve said in the above post. I just used the Radio Shack stuff and so far No Problems. Cost about 10 bucks for a 2 shot deal...LOL But worth it so far. 26 screws to take pedals apart...LOL
Had mine for over 2 years.

Yeah, it's a lot of work to take everything apart for sure.
I use the clutch (far left pedal) as the brake because I like to keep my feet farther apart. I really never use the clutch (middle pedal) at all. So, I just switched the middle pot with the gas pot. While I was at it and had everything apart, I switched the springs in the middle and left hand pedal, so now I have the heavy spring for the brake in the left pedal. Next time I have an issue I will use the spray cleaner.

I couldn't find any G25 replacement pots, but Digikey still carries replacement pots for both Momo wheels. Maybe one or both of them use the same pots in their pedals as the G25??
