⚠️ Important: This throttle body is designed for the 1.6 FSI (Fuel Stratified Injection) naturally aspirated petrol engine (engine codes BAD, BLF, BLP). Please verify your original OE number before ordering. Not compatible with 1.6 MPI or 1.4/1.8/2.0 engines. The 52mm bore is the factory specification for these FSI applications.
ℹ️ OE Note:
036133062Dis the VAG genuine part number.0280750059–0 280 750 059is the Bosch OE number. Both refer to the same 52mm electronic throttle body assembly for 1.6 FSI engines. This is an electronic throttle body (drive‑by‑wire) – no throttle cable. 1.6 FSI engines use a different throttle body than 1.6 MPI (which typically uses a 56mm bore, e.g. 06A133064H). Always confirm your engine code (BAD, BLF, BLP) and inspect the original part before ordering.

Common Symptoms of a Failing Throttle Body (1.6 FSI)
-
Unstable idle, “hunting,” or engine stalling at stops
-
Hesitation or flat spot during acceleration
-
Check Engine Light (CEL) – common DTCs: P0638, P0697, P2100, P2101, P2119, P2135
-
Poor throttle response / delayed acceleration
-
Reduced power / limp mode
-
Electronic throttle control light illuminated on dashboard
-
Cruise control malfunction (if equipped)
-
Rough idle that improves when throttle is applied
-
Engine dies when coming to a stop
-
Poor fuel economy
These symptoms are frequently reported for higher‑mileage 1.6 FSI vehicles when the throttle body components wear out or carbon buildup occurs. FSI engines are particularly sensitive to throttle deposits due to direct injection.
Installation & Adaptation Tips
IMPORTANT: After replacing the Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) on 1.6 FSI engines, a throttle self‑learning / idle relearn procedure is REQUIRED. Using a professional diagnostic scanner (VCDS / VAG‑COM) is strongly recommended.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Disconnect the negative battery terminal for 5–10 minutes (clears old learned values). |
| 2 | Remove the air intake duct and disconnect the electrical connector (6‑pin D‑shape). |
| 3 | Remove any coolant hoses attached to the throttle body (if equipped with throttle body heating). |
| 4 | Remove the four mounting bolts and old throttle body. |
| 5 | Discard the old gasket and clean the mating surface on the intake manifold. |
| 6 | Install a new gasket (strongly recommended – sold separately). |
| 7 | Install the new throttle body. Torque bolts to 8–10 Nm (6–7 lb-ft). |
| 8 | Reconnect coolant hoses (if equipped), electrical connector, and air intake duct. |
| 9 | Reconnect the battery. |
| 10 | Turn ignition ON (do not start engine) and wait 10 seconds. |
| 11 | Turn ignition OFF for 10 seconds. |
| 12 | Use VCDS / VAG‑COM to perform “Throttle Body Adaptation” – Basic Settings Group 060 or 098 in Engine module. |
| 13 | Start the engine and let it idle for 5 minutes (do not touch accelerator). |
| 14 | Turn engine off for 30 seconds, then restart and drive normally. The ECU will complete the adaptation. |
For 1.6 FSI (BAD/BLF/BLP): The battery‑disconnect method may not fully adapt the throttle body on these engines. Professional diagnostic equipment (VCDS) is highly recommended to perform Basic Settings. After replacement, it may take a few drive cycles for the ECU to fully adapt. A relearn calibration procedure is mandatory after installation – do not skip this step. FSI engines also require the throttle adaptation to be performed together with the fuel trim reset in some cases.

-
Check your vehicle model and year against the fitment table (VW Golf IV, Bora, Jetta, Lupo, New Beetle; Audi A2).
-
Locate the original part number on your existing throttle body – look for
036133062Dor0280750059. -
Verify the connector has 6 pins and is D‑shape.
-
Measure or confirm the throttle bore diameter is 52mm (not 56mm).
-
Check the mounting bolt pattern (4 bolts) and air intake duct connection match the product photos.
-
Note that a new mounting gasket is not included and must be purchased separately.
-
Contact us with your VIN or a photo of your original part if unsure.

Relearn requirement: A throttle relearn calibration procedure is mandatory after installation. Professional diagnostic equipment (VCDS) is strongly recommended for proper adaptation on FSI engines.
-
Professional installation recommended: If you are not comfortable performing the adaptation procedure, professional installation is recommended.
