whats the vw term for a ...........

[chol_gti]

okay need a throttle postion sensor however i went yesterday and they arn't called that neither are they called a CAM sensor. so what is it called please is it a crank sensor some1 mentioned? help appreciated. thanx

[topher]

throttle position sensor (TPS), cam sensor, and crank sensor are 3 very different things

vw wont sell you a TPS on it's own, you have to buy the whole throttle body i think (you can get one from a scrappers though)

[chol_gti]

will they all be the same on a 2.0 gti? or would i need a part num? thanx alot though m8 bin waiting on a answer 4 2 days no1 new 

[topher]

any 2.0 throttle body should do (vw call it a "throttle control valve" by the way)

The throttle position sensor is stuck to the side of it and just unbolts from it iirc.

[chol_gti]

but a new throttle body from vw is well espensive! where could i get one from if your saying they wont sell the tps seperate? do u no of anywhere? i think i no what part your talking about is it just held on with about 6 screws, like a little black cap?? cheers

[topher]

best bet is to hunt the scrapyards and ebay... i've had a look at part numbers to see if you could nick the tps off a 1.8T throttle body or something but it looks like you have to have the 2.0 one

[chol_gti]

thanx for your help m8. any chance you no what the part num is for one do u?
so are you saying i need to get the whole throttle body or can u get just the tps on its own? cheers

[topher]

according to vagcat 06A133066E if you have cruise control and 06A133064H if you dont

a scrappers would sell you the tps on its own and you might find one on ebay.. or a full tb with a knackered butterfly and you can just swap the tps over

[chol_gti]

thanx m8! is there a part num just for the tps? or is it just one whole unit they sell? gr8 help though bud thanx

[chol_gti]

also will another make/ model have the same part so i can look for a 2.0 throttle body? thx
