When was the throttle actuator made for the 600SL?
In both ASR and non-ASR cars transmission engages harsh due to higher than normal idle speed. Throttle bodies made in 1993 for 600SL ONLY and all others made in 1994-1995 along with few 96 6 cylinders models have biodegradable wiring insulation that will fail and wires short.
What are the problems with the Mercedes throttle actuator?
Most Mercedes Benzes made in 1993 to 1995 have problems with throttle bodies also known as electronic throttle actuator or ETA. Most ETA’s problems are due to shorting wiring inside ETA loom and some due to internal components failures.
Is the throttle actuator repairable in a non ASR car?
Some very few throttle bodies, about 1%, are not repairable due to wear and have to be replaced. Some ETAs, about 5%, have internal parts failures on top of shorting wires that can be repaired. In some cases shorting wires burn E-gas module in ASR cars and T/LLR module in Non-ASR cars.
How much does it cost to replace a throttle actuator?
When holders are melted complete ETA needs replacement as there are no replacement motors available. Brush repair is $250 per ETA. 93 600SL have different motors design, brushes do not fail as often.
