Most Expensive GTI Part

Post by VR6 South »

Just had a quote for a new throttle body................................
Only £813 plus VAT :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: . They are unique to the Polo as well :evil:

Is there a single part on the GTI which is more expensive??

Fair shout, but the gearbox is made of separate components. The throttle body is a sealed unit :)

I have a gti throttle body lieing around if you want it for £70 posted. Was going to use it for a throttle body conversion but couldn't get it to work properly on my 1.4 16v. PM me if you want it.

It's been really jerky on pull away, had it cleaned repeatedly and re-adapted on VAG COM. I'm hoping a replacement throttle body will do the trick.

Its actually more than that with the exchange price added to it

I know the ABS pump for a GTI is around £600

Once, I got quoted for the TCSEDL module on my car out of interest, and that was over £1500 lol!
