Throttle Body problem.

JohnHayesIreland · Dec 17th, 2012, 23:23

Hi,

I've been told by my mechanic that the magnets in the throttle body are faulty.
My S40 used the Mitsubishi engine. Here are the details:

Part reference number is: EAC 60003
The part is a Mitsubishi part. (Mitsubishi engine used in the Volvo 1.8 gdi )

Complete number shown on the part is:
(044) EAC60-003 1326 0612 Mikuni

Here’s some information which may be of use:

Part must be the ‘Electronic Version’ not the ‘Fly By Wire’.

Ref: Throttle Body.
Volvo S40.
2001
1.8GDI
Chassis number: YV1VS26751F756216
Reg No: 01D62602

I'm finding it very difficult to source the part. I don't want to purchase a new part as I've been quoted as much as €680. For some reason all of the car dismantlers Ive contacted only have the Fly By Wire version?

Any idea where I could obtain one?

Regards

John

The magnets become unstuck and the throtle body does not work properly. You can take the throtle body apart and use some strong glue to secure the magnets in their place.

Or alternatively look for a replacement one on ebay.

Hi,
Thanks.
My mechanic fixed the magnets in place and that lasted for about a month. After that it went again.
Trying to avoid purchasing a new one.
Trying breakers yards at the moment.
Regards

He needs to use some extra strong glue or epoxy. Not any cheap stuff. Problem with one from a breaker yard, is that you don't know if it is good or not, as the TB seems to be a very common failure in the GDI S/V40. Only way you can tell is if you fit it on your car, or if you take the TB apart and see if the magnet is in place
