This GoWesty-designed mechanical throttle position switch (TPS) kit is a direct replacement for the original VW throttle body with one throttle position switch.

Assembly required. Detailed instructions included.

Caution: the Bosch-design electrical plug that this item accepts is the same as on many other components in the engine compartment, some that are close in proximity to each other. Be very careful not to mix them up! Always unplug/plug in one thing at a time whenever possible, label all plugs if more than one is to be removed, for example when replacing an engine long block, or even just the throttle body.

Note: Very early 1.9 liter Vanagon models had two switches. If that is what you have, this item will not work. Also, for this switch to work properly, it is imperative that the throttle shaft bore in your housing is not badly worn. If you have a 2-switch, or a badly worn housing, we have you covered with a completely new throttle body assembly, see related items below.

High quality part

This part is not available from anyone else anymore for the 1985 1.9 engine . It's essential for the drivability and to pass emissions testing. Read the description carefully. Go West only has this application information re the 1.9 buried down in the description. It's not in the title. I'm a 50 yr master tech , I've learned to read everything that's the only reason I discovered it fit my engine.I use Fluid Film to stop the corrosion from the ocean air living by the Beach. Use the instructions to set it up before re install of the throttle body.

A Big Thanks to Go Westy for making this part available .

Dear GoWesty, Have received switch and it's on the van and working, keeping fingers crossed that things will continue for a long time! Just 2 remarks:USPOST took nearly 2 wks to move the parcel around Texas but it didn't get lost! The switch itself is made in China although Omicron-pity. Anyway glad you are there to keep the Combis moving!
Best wishes Donald

Great replacement kit for the original throttle!
Materials, implementation and the description is high quality - very good job guys!
Only one wish (perhaps for the future) - a housing would be nice ;-)
Here in Germany doesn't exist any comparable like this...
