Showing 11 results for "throttle body actuator"

The factory plastic gears in BMW S65 throttle body actuators are notorious for premature wear due to mechanical stress, engine vibration, and heat cycling. Over time, this wear leads to excessive play, throttle response issues, and eventual failure. This can cause DME fault codes, limp mode, and DSC malfunctions. While replacing both throttle actuators is costly, even new OEM units will eventually suffer the same fate.

Thankfully, ECS has developed the ultimate solution for E9X M3 owners! These Upgraded Throttle Body Actuator Gears are constructed of Teflon-reinforced nylon, significantly reducing friction and gear tooth wear for long-term reliability. Each gear comes pre-installed on a 4140 steel shaft, strengthening the assembly and preventing further failure.

Servicing the internals of S65 throttle body actuators can be a challenging task due to their intricate design. To simplify the process, ECS has developed a complete plug-and-play replacement kit. This kit includes two brand-new OEM Continental/VDO throttle body actuator assemblies, rebuilt with upgraded ECS gears and shafts for simplified installation and long-term durability. Unlike rebuilt actuators, this solution minimizes the risk of internal electrical failures, providing superior protection against common failure modes.

Features & Benefits:

Upgraded Teflon-reinforced nylon gears – Superior to factory plastic-on-plastic gears, reducing wear and extending lifespan. 4140 steel shafts – Increases durability and simplifies installation. Pre-installed inside OEM Actuators – Decreases install complexity and reduces the risk of electrical failure in rebuild units. Prevents common actuator failures – Resolves worn gear issues that cause CELs, limp mode, and DSC/DME errors. Cost-effective alternative to full actuator replacement – Saves hundreds in parts and labor. Factory-like fitment – Engineered for precise compatibility and long-term reliability. Built to withstand heat and mechanical stress – Ensures consistent throttle performance and extended service life.

If your throttle is malfunctioning, this could be the issue. This controls the throttle position, opening and closing it as needed.
