New Throttle Body TP Sensor P2135 - Help!


Voodoo

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I've recently had the p3 service at a Nissan main dealer and I asked they replace the standard air filter with the nismo replacement part which was done along with a clean of the fuel injectors. She's done 26000 miles and a 2005 GT4 car. A week later the engine warning light came on and the dealer reset the ecu and said that I may have to have the sensor replaced if it came on again,2 weeks later it came on just before Christmas.

 

The cars running fine, perhaps a little more growly at idle which levels off but that may be down to the freezing weather. I took the car back to the dealer today and a GT-R performance qualified tech diagnosed that I would need a new throttle body. The fault on both times was P2135 TP Sensor.

 

I've been quoted £1300 for the part plus another £80-100 labour. My question is, is there any way to avoid / reduce this big bill considering its already had a reset been looked at before? Any advice appreciated!

thats very easy to reduce the cost of this,

 

don't go to nissan, they are the biggest bunch of ripoff artists, and they aren't the best at diagnosing problems as their technicians aren't that familiar with the car.

 

whats your location, i'm sure there is a better performance garage nearby.

 

also Zmanalex or R35LEE can get you parts cheaper as well.

Thanks for that - I'm in SW London - My logic was that if it needs the part and its the bulk of the bill then its just an hour labour to fit so a specialist wouldn't add value as they'll have to buy the part from Nissan too.

 

Any suggestions for someone in SW London?

 

Cheers!

i don't think your not that far from abbey motorsport. there are several based round the m25 area also DMS are near the dartford crossing/brandshatch area.

 

both are worth travelling for as both are very experienced with the Zeds

 

you'll probably find you don't need a new throttle body, i think i had that code once. possibly set off when you had the filter fitted, they may have knocked the throttle body, the butterfly valve is very sensitive and doesn't like to be disturbed.

 

i'd do a throttle posisition reset and an ECU reset and then see how you get on.

my god how much can they get away with chargeing for parts :lol::lol:

 

but a decent used part from Zmanalex or R35Lee and either fit it yourself as it aint that hard or give your local mechanic £30 to do it

just my tuppence

I can help with a preowned throttle body mate but before you send over your hard earned to me I would suggest that you give the throttle body a gentle internal clean taking care not to the "disturb" the butterfly.

 

I would also carry out a throttle body reset as has previously been suggested.

 

I would also give the MAF sensor a clean and make sure that they have not over oiled your new panel filter. :thumbs:

 

If at the end of the day you find that you do require a throttle body, then just drop me a pm and I can ship out the same day.

 

Cheers,

 

Alex.

its like drugs when it comes to nissan servicing/maintainence "just say no!" :lol:

 

i bet your total expenditure on this will be about £10 for lubricante. this website just saved you £1300 :lol: not bad for a night work. ;)

 

worst case scenerio is you have to make a trip to abbey, and thats not going to break the bank. :thumbs:
