At indefinite moments, i get bad throttle response, or should i say that there is no response despite i step on the pedal. The error code given is the P2102 (before a few weeks the P2103 also had come up), any idea what that actually is? Torque says its "Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit Low" but i have no clue what that is!
Bentley say both codes mean "Throttle Actuator 'A' Control Motor Circuit High" So... Yeah. Not much help.
OK, so same as mine. The throttle is electrically linked to the accelerator pedal. Here's what Bentley says: The rest is how to replace the throttle housing unit. So it sounds like you might have a faulty set of sensors?
So i guess now my two main issues are 1. how do i replace the throttle body, which i have no clue in how to do so! Is this described in the Bentley manual? 2. which part no. is the throttle body described in real oem?
You are going to have to back probe to verify whether the issue is wiring or throttle body. I have never seen an issue with wiring, but problems vary per geographic location. I have only replaced one throttle body, and it was because the shaft for the butterfly had begun to allow condensation and oil past and into the throttle body electronics. Upon opening the throttle body I found about 2 oz of oil, and broken teeth on the potentiometer gear. Replacement takes us about an hour, if you have the proper tools on hand it may take you 2-3 based on skill level.
How will I make verification between wiring or throttle body? Can the throttle body be opened and then closed again to work? What tools are needed and are there any tutorials one can consult,before unmounting or even replacing the throttle valve?
A Bentley Manual is going to be your best investment, next to oil changes every 5,000 miles. I highly recommend AGAINST trying to open the throttle body, there is small Torx screws and a heat applied glue that holds it together. The chances of you breaking the body are very high, and with what you are saying a new throttle body will be the "part" to fix it.
Can someone tell me the Throttle body part number for my 2008 R56S in real oem, cause im mixed up in finding it?
MINI P/N is: 13-54-8-624-189. Don't try to open up your existing TB to fix it. It is a sealed unit, the only reason I was able to open one is because I was able to diagnose that it was the fault and had replaced it with a new unit. Feel free to give us a call and we can get you one on the way: 586-792-6464
The OP is in GREECE not the USA. Just buy a new OEM TB and replace it or have some one do it for you.
Finally i took it to a tech, he removed it and found out that the valve would not open/close when pressed manually with his bare hands! It was the mechanism that was faulty, that's why the valve would not turn when pressed. 2 out of10 times when pressed it would turn, the rest, it would stay stiff! Replaced it and so far so good. One question though, is your throttle body plastic or metal and does its say VDO on it?
Dunno, I'd have to take the bloody thing to find out. And that's not gonna happen unless I need to. Glad to know it's been fixed
