VW Throttle Body Assembly Kit - Genuine VW KIT-01457

Product Information

A Fuel Injection Throttle Body is a component in a vehicle's fuel injection system that controls the amount of air entering the engine. It consists of a throttle plate that opens and closes based on the driver's accelerator pedal input. The throttle body plays a crucial role in regulating engine power and efficiency by managing the air-fuel mixture that enters the combustion chamber.

• Poor Acceleration or Hesitation: A malfunctioning throttle body can lead to poor acceleration or hesitation during driving, particularly when the driver presses the accelerator pedal. This can result from a stuck or faulty throttle plate that doesn’t open or close properly
• Rough Idle or Stalling: If the throttle body is dirty or malfunctioning, it may cause the engine to idle roughly or stall, especially when coming to a stop or during low-speed driving. This is often due to incorrect air-fuel mixture or air supply issues
• Check Engine Light: A faulty throttle body may trigger the Check Engine light. Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to the throttle position sensor or airflow may be stored in the vehicle’s system, indicating issues with the throttle body.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW 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 VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly 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.
