• Critical components built to precise OE dimensions
• Tested for response time and airflow at multiple points
• Aluminum housing with finished gray housing color
• Electronic throttle position sensor included
• Round inlet and outlet design
• 57.00 mm bore diameter
• Original equipment replacement for direct-fit service

Detailed Description

Part number 6E-4005 is an electric throttle body designed to regulate intake air through commands from the vehicle control module. It uses an integrated motor and position sensors to manage throttle opening across driving conditions, helping maintain accurate air delivery and stable engine operation. This unit is built and tested as a complete assembly, with components that match OE specifications for the housing, throttle plate, sensors, actuator motor, and return spring.

Fits 2000-2006 Audi A4, N/A. Fits 2000-2005 Audi A4 Quattro, N/A. Fits 2001-2005 Volkswagen Passat, N/A. This part cross-references Audi and Volkswagen OE numbers 06B133062B and 06B133062M for the same application. The Cardone 6E-4005 is intended for drivers needing a direct replacement throttle body for these specific vehicles.

What This Part Helps Address

• Throttle response issues caused by a worn electronic throttle body
• Check engine light concerns related to throttle position sensor faults
• Fail-safe or reduced-power operation triggered by throttle control errors
• Idle instability tied to inaccurate air metering
• Airflow control problems affecting acceleration and cruise operation

Installation Notes and Tips

A relearn calibration procedure is necessary after installation of the replacement throttle body. Review the vehicle service manual for the exact reset or adaptation steps before starting the job. No vehicle modification is required for installation, and the package includes the electronic throttle body and instruction sheet.

Do not install throttle body spacers, and do not bypass coolant hoses where the OE design uses them. On applications equipped with coolant routing, those hoses help keep the throttle body warm in cold conditions and reduce the chance of moisture freezing at the bore and valve.

Quality Assurance

Cardone tests each throttle body for motor operation, sensor output, articulation, response time, and airflow to confirm consistent performance. The unit is manufactured to meet OE standards and is guaranteed to fit and function like the original.
