Porsche Throttle Body Gasket - Genuine Porsche 99611031802

Product Information

A throttle body gasket is a seal located between the throttle body and the intake manifold in a vehicle’s engine. The throttle body controls the amount of air flowing into the engine based on driver input from the accelerator pedal. The gasket's role is to ensure an airtight seal between the two components, preventing air leaks that could disrupt the air-fuel mixture and reduce engine performance.

• Rough Idle: A damaged or worn gasket can cause air leaks, leading to a rough or erratic idle
• Engine Misfire: When extra air enters the intake manifold through a leaking gasket, it can create a lean air-fuel mixture
• Decreased Engine Power: The improper air-to-fuel ratio disrupts combustion, leading to reduced performance.
• Increased Fuel Consumption: As the engine compensates for the extra air caused by a faulty gasket, it may inject more fuel to compensate, leading to increased fuel consumption

About Genuine Porsche

The original parts used by Porsche to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Porsche” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Porsche, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Porsche Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Porsche are not necessarily manufactured by Porsche. No cause for concern, as Porsche designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Porsche for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Porsche parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Porsche logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
