bought a 52mm throttle body from a member here last week, could anyone check the part number?

The part number is MHB 000080, as I know that this is actually a 48mm TB, not the one I should received. The 52mm's part number should be MHB000261, is that right??

I just need someone's confirmation then I'll ask for a full refund + postage and then post it back to him.

hope this problem can be solved soon.:slap::slap::slap::slap:

why dont you just measure it? If it meansures 48mm then its a 48mm one and if it measures 52mm then its more than likely a 52mm one ;).

thats what i did before i sold it to him but im not told by him that the part number is for a 48mm ????????:chop:

part number indicates the actual size, I think I should choose to trust maker's measurement...

shouldn't post pm records here, sorry for that.

Airing PM's in public is not a good idea... they are PRIVATE messages and should probably stay that way!

From the pictures its hardly conclusive if it is a 52 or 48 throttle body, I can't see any Part numbers in either picture... plus whats to say you havn't swapped them over already and are just trying to get something for free like the BMC? - By no means am I saying you did, just whats to say you didn't? :)

Sorry if this causes offence or anything, it wasn't meant that way... Just everyone always forget that sellers get conned sometimes too!

mate, to be honest, I can't understand throughly what you said here due to my poor english, to some point, It does cause offence! I wouldn't blame you as you don't know clearly what's going on here and I never expect you know that.

and I don't care wat u saied. the turth is I didn't get what I'v paid for. I'm a Chinese student and my knowledge about motor is fking poor, it's not easy for me to figure out what's the difference between 48MM TB and 52MM TB.

But I have confidence in this matter, wat I'v got is a 48 TB and I won't pay 50 quid for this.

free bmc? wat do u mean?

:indian:

This should be resolved via pm and not dragged through the open forum, end of!

Just measure it to tell if it's a 52mm, :slap:

Wow banta.com but yeah get a measuring tape out and bobs your uncle you will have the size and take a pic of both the throttle bodies side by side that way the seller can see the one he sold you and your one if you know what I mean. I think I know what I mean sorry if this causes any more problems but it's the best way to resolve a situation

ye,shouldn't drag through the open forum, just wanna see other people's opinion and reach an agreement.

and before I post this thread I told the seller I'd ask for help on the forum.

ok, now problem solved, lets stop here.:mml:

get it sorted get a measuring tape job done mate!! sounds like your quite picky tbh

If you paid for 52mm tb, and got a 48mm tb, do you like that?

just wanna get wat I paid for, am I picky? may be a little..

I am a fully qualified mechanic and rover expert (according to my work ) lol! i measured it before sending and was 52mm for sure. Anyway he has been given a refund so i guess .end of

Did you get the throttle body back?

I was referring to the fake bmc you managed to get for free... seems there is a reoccurring theme here starting :)

just sent a refund and he said he gonna post it back. to be honest i dont need all this f*king about

KKMAN
Your going to make people not want to deal with you.
Shouldnt have dragged PMs into open forum.

確定生病走一步，這樣做使你明白你在說什麼測量的結核病人捲尺來看看它確實是一個五二毫米節流閥體或者如果 你沒有堅持你的ID我知道你的英語，但掙扎你的方式，在公開論壇脫節時;的應保存為一個下午

Translator for ya kkman

Althought this could say suck my hairy balls for all i know lol

how much do you want for the 52mm body

do you think I want this happen?

I just want get wat I paid for, that's all.

I don't need this fking fake BMC and seller didn't transfer the postage cost to my bank account and I asked him, he said he don't need it, cause he admitted that his item is a fake one and he apologized for this

I'm not gonna argue with you, but the truth is I paid for 52mm TB and got a 48mm TB.

want more pics???

you can say whatever you want, you can even say you measured it and it was 56mm for sure, but according to the part number, this is a 48mm TB.

why you think I'm a picky and tricky guy??????????

I just wanna justice, just wanna get wat I paid for.

seller said this TB got 52mm stamped on it, but this is not ture, you can judge from the pics I uploaded here!!! he lied to me!!! This is not just a mistake, this is intended, isn't?

Apparently, this TB is 48mm, why don't you trust the part number?

The truth is I'm the victim and you said that I just wanna get something for free ???? why keep insulting me?? ??

and seller promised that he gonna refund me 50 quid+ 3 quid(postage cost)

so far I didn't receive the moneny for postage, so I'm not gonna post it back until I reveice it.

Mental note to sell when selling ......

Indeed, seller beware

Just sent him his 3 quid postage. one phrase springs to mind "FIRST CLASS *****"

Seriously if a tb has a 52mm butterfly it is 52mm who cares what the fuking part number says!

and as for thinking i intended to do this on purpose the answer is no. The 52mm stamp is hidden under the bracket which supports the wiring loom for the inlet manifold. In my garage i have endless amounts of **** and for the life of me cant remember what i have and havent got all i knew is i brought a 52mm tb for my zr and thats what i sent him.

?50 posted mate and its almost new condition.

The part numbers on EPC don't show the sizes.

If the butterfly is 52mm, then its a 52mm t/b.

I thought the 48s were plastic and the 52s metal?

i think you can get a 52mm and 48mm alloy but also i think you can get a 48mm plastic

Ooooh, wish I'd known that before going off to buy mine. I bought it because it was alloy thinking it must be right. Anyhoo got the right one by chance as I did measure it, part numbers splart numbers!

The 2 part numbers quoted by the op are both metal.

The MHB000261 is shown as fitting a ZR160 from vin number 600076 onwards,
and the other MHB000080 as being for a K series, high performance.

you are a rude british. I mean yes, rude.

The pic of 52MM TB is from internet. I only got the 48mm TB from the seller.

how can I swap them???

free bmc?

I admit that I'm not that rich, but I'm not gona do that kind of dirty things.

again, you are a rude guy.

check this link, mate, you are funny.

Either way makes it a 52mm :laugh:

Perhaps someone could post a pic of a MHB000080 with a ruler across it, just to clear up the confusion.

As for quoting posts on .org as sources of good info....lol

see my another thread

Thats one way to measure it!!

So I guess from that we can come to the conclusion its a 46mm tb not 48 or 52 :slap:

The phantom throttle body, was it a 48 or 52...no one will ever know.
