Vehicle Fitment – Compatible with (1.9 TDI / 2.0 TDI & Mitsubishi 2.0L DI‑D):

⚠️ Important: This throttle body (intake air control valve / shut‑off flap) is designed for 1.9 TDI and 2.0 TDI diesel engines (VAG EA188 / PD family) as well as Mitsubishi 2.0L DI‑D diesel engines (4G94). Please verify your original OE number before ordering. Not compatible with petrol engines, 2.5 TDI, V10 TDI, or later common‑rail EA288 engines without verification. The 48mm bore is the factory specification for these diesel applications.

ℹ️ OE Note: The VAG OE numbers (038128063L / F / G / M / P / Q) are fully interchangeable genuine part numbers for the diesel intake throttle valve. 714393100 / 160 / 220 / 260 / 110 are manufacturer (Pierburg / Continental) numbers. 7519031, 880312, V10810011 (V10‑81‑0011), 30944945, 1115401400, 556127 are aftermarket cross‑references. Mitsubishi OE numbers MN980166 and MN980378 also cross‑refer to this same throttle body assembly, confirming compatibility with Grandis and Lancer DI‑D engines. This is an electronic throttle valve (drive‑by‑wire) for diesel engines – used primarily for EGR control, intake air management, and smooth engine shut‑off.

OE Cross Reference – Match with your original part:

ℹ️ Pierburg is the Original Equipment manufacturer for most of these diesel throttle valves. The 48mm bore is standard for 1.9 TDI PD and 2.0 TDI engines. Mitsubishi OE numbers MN980166 and MN980378 have been confirmed to interchange with the VAG Pierburg 714393 series.

Technical Specifications

ℹ️ On diesel engines, this throttle valve is not used for power control (which is done by fuel injection). It is primarily an air shut‑off flap for EGR regulation, idle stability, and to prevent engine run‑on after ignition off. The 48mm bore is calibrated for 1.9L – 2.0L diesel engines.

Common Symptoms of a Failing Throttle Body (1.9 TDI / 2.0 TDI / 2.0 DI‑D)

• Unstable idle, “hunting,” or engine stalling at stops

• Poor throttle response / delayed acceleration (due to incorrect EGR flow)

• Check Engine Light (CEL) – common DTCs: P0638, P0697, P2100, P2101, P2119, P2135

• Reduced power / limp mode

• Excessive black smoke (EGR flow disruption)

• Engine does not shut off smoothly (runs on briefly after key off)

• Cruise control malfunction (if equipped)

• Rough idle that improves when throttle is applied

• Poor fuel economy

These symptoms are frequently reported for higher‑mileage 1.9 TDI PD and 2.0 TDI vehicles when the intake throttle valve becomes clogged with carbon or the internal motor fails.

Installation & Adaptation Tips

IMPORTANT: After replacing the intake throttle valve on VAG / Mitsubishi diesel engines, a throttle self-learning / basic setting procedure is REQUIRED. Using a professional diagnostic scanner (VCDS / VAG‑COM or M.U.T.-III for Mitsubishi) is strongly recommended.

For VAG 1.9 TDI / 2.0 TDI: The battery‑disconnect method may not fully adapt the throttle valve. Professional diagnostic equipment (VCDS) is highly recommended to perform Basic Settings. For Mitsubishi Grandis/Lancer D‑4D, use M.U.T.-III or compatible scanner. 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.

How to Ensure You Get the Correct Part

1. Confirm your vehicle is equipped with a 1.9 TDI (PD), 2.0 TDI (PD), or Mitsubishi 2.0 DI‑D (4G94) diesel engine – not petrol, not 1.8T, not V6.

2. Check your vehicle model and year against the fitment table (Audi A3, VW Golf IV/Sharan, SEAT Alhambra/Leon/Ibiza, Škoda Fabia/Octavia; Mitsubishi Grandis/Lancer).

3. Locate the original part number on your existing intake throttle valve – look for any of the listed OE numbers (038128063 suffix, 714393xxx, MN980166, MN980378, etc.).

4. Verify the connector has 6 pins (VAG diesel standard).

5. Measure or confirm the throttle bore diameter is 48mm.

6. Check the mounting bolt pattern (4 bolts) and air intake duct connection match the product photos.

7. Note that a new mounting gasket is not included and must be purchased separately (VAG gasket 038128063‑related, or Mitsubishi gasket).

8. Contact us with your VIN or a photo of your original part if unsure.

⚠️ Important: This throttle valve is for diesel engines ONLY. It will NOT fit petrol engines. For petrol applications, use a different throttle body. Also not compatible with 1.4 TDI (3‑cylinder) or 2.5 TDI V6 without verification. Mitsubishi applications: Grandis (NA_W, 2004‑2010), Lancer (CY/Z_A, 2007‑2010) with 2.0L 4G94 DI‑D engine. Always check original OE number before ordering.

After-Sales & Disclaimer

• Pre-installation check: Inspect the throttle valve for any defects. Verify the OE number and connector type (6‑pin) before installation.

• Gasket requirement: A new mounting gasket is strongly recommended – gasket not included. A damaged or reused gasket may cause vacuum leaks and rough idle.

• Relearn requirement: A basic setting / adaptation procedure is mandatory after installation. Professional diagnostic equipment is strongly recommended for proper adaptation.

• Professional installation recommended: If you are not comfortable performing the adaptation procedure, professional installation is recommended.

• Warranty: This product carries a 12‑month warranty against manufacturing defects. The motor and sensors are covered for 24 months.
