class=\"esp-lead\"\u003eThe factory-installed plastic gears in S65 throttle body actuators are prone to degradation due to constant mechanical stress, vibration, and heat cycling. After years of use, internal actuator gear wear leads to excessive play, improper throttle response, and eventual failure—often triggering DME trouble codes, limp mode, and DSC malfunctions. Even high-quality OE replacement units will experience the same failure in due time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've engineered a high-quality replacement for the internal actuator gears to solve this issue. ECS Upgraded Throttle Body Actuator Gears are constructed from durable Teflon-reinforced nylon, safeguarding gear teeth from wear and ensuring long-term reliability. Each gear is pre-installed on a new 4140 steel shaft, providing further protection from premature actuator failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServicing actuator internals can be daunting, especially with the complexity found inside S65 throttle body actuators. With this in mind, we’ve designed a comprehensive plug-and-play replacement kit. It includes two brand-new OEM Continental\/VDO throttle body actuator assemblies, rebuilt with upgraded ECS gears and shafts to ensure easier installation and improved reliability. Unlike rebuilt actuators, this kit helps prevent electrical failures, safeguarding you from further failure modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.ecstuning.com\/product_library\/1950174_x800.jpg\" alt=\"S65 Upgraded Throttle Body Actuator Set\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"esp-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"esp-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgraded Teflon-reinforced nylon construction replaces the factory plastic-on-plastic gears, significantly reducing friction and gear tooth wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGears are pre-fitted with new 4140 steel shafts, ensuring an easier installation process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses the common worn gear teeth condition that can cause CELs, limp mode, and DSC\/DME communication issues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores throttle functionality without requiring a full throttle actuator replacement, saving you countless hours of labor and hundreds of dollars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECS gears are engineered to exact OEM specifications for long-term reliability and performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to withstand high temperatures and mechanical stress, prolonging the service life of your rebuilt throttle body actuator assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"esp-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"esp-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Continental\/VDO S65 Throttle Valve Actuators - 13627838085\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e​Upgraded ECS Teflon Transfer Gears (pre-installed in actuator)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgraded ECS Teflon Output Gears (pre-installed in actuator)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine BMW Throttle Body Actuator Struts - 13547838300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"esp-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Development\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur ECS Upgraded Throttle Body Actuator Set was designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility.
