Exclamation URGENT HELP NEEDED - VRP 80mm TB

My car is at the dealer after throwing an ESP malfunction on Saturday. It was determined to be a bad throttle actuator, and the dealer ordered a replacement, which does not match what I have on the car, due to the VRP TB.

Does anyone know what MB TB VRP used for their 80mm kit? Without this info, the dealer can't order the right part. I searched and searched, but could not come up with a definite answer.

Thanks,
Marlon

Here's a cheaper way, take your E55 TPS and swap over to your 80mm throttle body. Save yourself couple hundreds $$.

That would be fine, if I know what to replace it with. The VRP kit came with a custom mount, in order to accommodate the different mounting of the TB they used.

The replacement TB wiring may need to be changed depending on the PN.

It's not a big deal
