any ideas where i can get a replacement from? i had another throttle body but it looked slightly different (maybe a 2.8?) and didnt know how to remove as it didnt have a nut on display as mine has.

 

any ideas?

I think all obd1 throttle bodies are the same to be honest. quick look on ebay and theres a few starting at around £27 quid including postage. Either that or place a wanted add, I'm sure there will be a few for sale on here, vr6oc and edition38 but make sure its obd1!

 

This is what an obd2 throttle body looks like with built in ISV on the side, this won't work!

No Corrado was OBD2

 

Mine has the obd2 Port NOT the 4 pin one, also as someone has put in the post above they have an obd2 one and have included a pic :-s

94 on Corrados switched from 2+2 diag port to 'OBD2' but the engine management is still OBD1 I'm afraid.

 

The only OBD2 Corrados are ones which have been converted.

I feel so dumb ryt now but can someone explain the difference between obd1&2? What are the benefits and also I have a spare manifold withe the same throttle body as the OBD2 pic above, where do the obd2 throttle body's come from if no corrado was ever obd2? :-s

A Mk3 Golf (or Jetta etc) with the 2.8 litre VR6 - they survived longer than the Corrado and were available in OBD2. That's how people convert Corrados...
