"where it is on this vehicle" how have you tested it, if you don,t know where it is ?

Kev.

Not tested just code read as customer was in a hurry got price from TPS and they keep two in stock so units are common to failure and need to know a replacement time for warrenty company to give the go ahead thanks Wayne

Hi Wayne

A note of caution. . .

" got price from TPS and they keep two in stock so units are common to failure "

Could these sales figures be exaggerated due to an abundance of misdiagnosed faults?

As an example (one that most can relate to) how many oxygen sensors are replaced, needlessly, just because the DTC refers to it directly, within the fault description?

I feel sure that if you rang any dealership, (or motor factors) that they will quote an extremely healthy sales figures for many components.

It doesn't necessarily follow that those sales figures represent the likelihood that your component is at fault.

Just thought it worth a mention

Just to second Mr Hills comments.

>>> " got price from TPS and they keep two in stock so units are common to failure "

Cancer is also common, but does that mean that every illness is cancer?

Test the component and try not to play parts darts with someone else's money. Its one of the things that make us professionals !!

Hi Wayne
To answer your question......About 1.5 hrs, remove under tray its next too the underside of oil filter housing .fiddly but straight forward.These are very common on that model and year
By the way I usually charge the customer £30.00 to deal with warranty claims.
