Crazy cheap TPS's!

Almost worth it just for a spare!

Usually these things retail for £40ish+. Not sure you can really go wrong with the quality of a TPS either.

Awesome, nice find there mate

at that price it's tempting to get 4, replace my 2 current ones (two separate cars before anyone thinks I've gone mental

) and have two spare

I would be bit worried about quality, and if it lasts

I bought a yonaka one recently for about 40ish I think

Is that why you're worried?

I've ordered one as at that price it doesn't matter if it is rubbish, but I did think there's not really much they can do wrong with a TPS... It doesn't actually do any thinking itself, it purely sends a signal/makes a resistance.

probably

if its chinese components, they could fail

but your right for the price you could buy ten of them

I did have a dodgy OBX one a few years back. Didn't flag up on the ECU that it went bad, but the car just felt crap when pulling off and poor response during tip-in. Took me ages to find the fault. Turned out it was acting like an old crackly volume control. So when I took it off the back fell off coz whatever they used to glue it on with had dried out!

Oh!

Well I'll thoroughly examine mine once I've received it and report back

Mine was fine for about a year, I guess the weather or heat got at it. Can't complain really I got what I paid for but I just can't be bothered with having my time wasted by cheap parts anymore
