Variable TPS for 1.6l

Postby 1.6lAutorotor » Mon Feb 15, 2010 4:54 pm

Hi All,

The variable TPS part number listed in searches to replace the 1.6l on off TPS no longer finds a part.

BMW/Bosch automatic TPS (part number 0280120402) including plug/tail.

What i have found is another part BMW/Bosch TPS #0280120406 is still availble +$200 :( but am not sure if it will fit, or if it is variable?

What have other people done when adding after-market ECU's, or should I be ringing wreckers and not new (repco). The car is waiting for this one part.

Cheers

Alternatively you could try the NB6 manifold and NA8 throttle body. I'm going through that currently myself.

Thanks for the reply

The throttle body is mounted to the front of a supercharger so I won't need the manifold. Are there any complete throttle bodies that have the same bolt pattern, will an auto model na6 fit? Or should I just get an na8 and change the mounting pattern?

I'll have to ring some Mazda wreckers tomorrow. I want my car back.

Auto NA6 would fit but I'd imagine it'd be extremely rare.

After a standard TPS for 1.6?

I threw out a 1.6 throttle body with the TPS attached into the bin today....

Thanks for the offer, but it's about 3 hours too late. The guys at the mx5centre had one and were kind enough to drop it at the mechanics. So I should get the car back tomorrow.

Thanks everybody for the sugestions
