Will this Throttle Position Switch kit work for my Vanagon? I have a 1985 1.9L engine.

This GoWesty-designed Throttle Position Switch (TPS) kit is specifically made for Vanagon models with a single switch on the throttle body. Based on customer feedback, it fits the 1985 1.9L engine and is essential for drivability and passing emissions. Early 1.9L models had two switches, and this kit is not compatible with those. We also offer a complete new throttle body assembly if your housing bore is excessively worn or if you have the dual-switch setup. Please check your original setup to confirm you have a single switch.

Is this a direct replacement part for my Bosch EFI system?

Yes, this mechanical Throttle Position Switch kit is designed by GoWesty as a direct replacement for the original VW throttle body that uses a single throttle position switch on Bosch EFI systems. It comes with detailed instructions to guide you through the assembly and installation process.

I'm concerned about confusing the electrical plugs during installation. Any tips?

That's a very valid concern! The Bosch-design electrical plug this TPS kit uses is similar to those on other engine components. GoWesty strongly advises unplugging and plugging in only one connector at a time whenever possible. If you need to remove multiple plugs, we highly recommend labeling them clearly before disconnecting them, especially if you're working on a larger job like replacing an engine or throttle body. This simple step can prevent costly mistakes.

My throttle body housing shaft bore might be worn. Will this kit still work?

For this Throttle Position Switch kit to function correctly, it's critical that the throttle shaft bore in your existing housing isn't significantly worn. If your housing bore is badly worn, or if your Vanagon originally came with two switches instead of one, this kit won't be the right fit. In those cases, we highly recommend checking out our completely new throttle body assemblies, which are designed to solve those specific issues.

Ce kit de capteur de position de papillon (TPS) mécanique conçu par GoWesty est un remplacement direct du boîtier de papillon VW d’origine doté d’un seul capteur de position de papillon.

Assemblage requis. Instructions détaillées incluses.

Attention : la prise électrique de conception Bosch acceptée par cet article est identique à celle de nombreux autres composants du compartiment moteur, dont certains sont situés à proximité les uns des autres. Faites très attention à ne pas les intervertir ! Débranchez/rebranchez toujours un élément à la fois dans la mesure du possible, et étiquetez toutes les prises si vous devez en retirer plus d’une, par exemple lors du remplacement d’un bloc moteur ou même simplement du boîtier de papillon.

Remarque : Les modèles Vanagon 1,9 litre très anciens étaient équipés de deux capteurs. Si c’est votre cas, cet article ne fonctionnera pas. De plus, pour que ce capteur fonctionne correctement, il est impératif que l’alésage de l’arbre du papillon de votre boîtier ne soit pas excessivement usé. Si vous avez un modèle à deux capteurs ou un boîtier très usé, nous proposons un ensemble de boîtier de papillon entièrement neuf ; consultez les articles associés ci-dessous.

Conseil de pro : Vous en avez assez de vous embêter avec le Digifant ? Passez à la modernité avec l’injection de carburant GoWesty.

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 .

Very cool

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...
