Title: Pirelli edition replacement throttle body
Post by: Nevo343 on January 14, 2026, 12:24:57 pm

Where does everyone get their replacement throttle body’s from ?
I have tried VW and at nearly £500 it’s a bit pricey and no stock.
So a patten part will have to do to get the car back on the road but struggling to find one.
So any ideas please.

I bought mine from Darkside Developments, revised metal flapper TB. No more plastic cracking.

They are made by Continental now and bought a decent secondhand one off eBay a couple of years ago using the latest part number at the time,  then used VCDS to re-sync/align it

My PN is 06F133062T and was off a Mk7 Golf GTI or R for £30 and sorted my issues......still going strong
