Thanks for the quick reply's guys, I am looking at the Vod (continental) ones, has anyone used these instead of Bmw ones? I believe they are made by the same place and bmw just puts their sticker on them. Cheers |

If you mean VDO, I think they are the same.
If you go the rebuild ones then you will need to post your old ones back. You may need to pay a deposit which is returned when they receive your old actuators. |

https://www.fcpeuro.com/Parts/?keywo...le%20actuators THe VDO ones which OP mentioned earlier are basically OEM correct? So, are there actuators on FCP Euro with upgraded or repaird gearset plastics and the electric board? Thanks in advance for your help! N96 |

It's this one "BMW Throttle Body Actuator - Genuine BMW 13627838085"
If you select this item and then click on the "Warranty" tab, it tells you about the lifetime warranty. |

Redd makes some good points. I have been purchasing parts from FCP Euro for several years due to their lifetime warranty on all of the parts they sell. In regard to the actuators you have to weigh a few things being located in Australia. The OEM/VDO actuators being sold today are the same actuators that were originally made for the M5/6 E60's and M3 E90's. The technology used then is the same as today. Which means that the issues they have with the gears and boards have not been corrected. Therefore they are doomed to fail. If you are going to purchase an OEM actuator and you prefer new then you have to purchase from FCP euro as their warranty covers the units for their lifetime as long as you own the vehicle. However with FCP Euro the warranty is not transferable to a new owner if you sell the car. If you were to buy them from the dealer or another parts company they would only be covered for 2 years. Our actuators come with a lifetime transferable warranty rebuild-usa.com
