I've been searching for a GT tps for about a month, initially assuming second hand was the only option.

I read on here that a golf vr6 one would fit, all good and well, I bought one... when it arrived it was noticeably massive compared, there was physically no way it could fit, the mounting holes were further apart.

I then learned that there is an updated version of the vr6 TPS, which is the one I bought.

The early TPS, which I think are still in production regardless of the update, is identical to the GT one, so I bought one, and it fits perfectly and works as it should.

Just to clarify,

The part number of the one that doesn't fit is - 037 907 385 Q (A large majority of the ones advertised on ebay etc are this part number)

The part number for the vr6 tps that fits the GT is - 021 907 385

The part number for the GT tps (or the one I took off my gt certainly) is - 030 907 385 A

Hopefully this will help someone...

Are the early ones still available from VW themselves?

Not entirely sure, I managed to find a new one on ebay, maybe worth a call - though don't expect they'll be particularly cheap

Glad you got it sorted in the end

Cheers dude, apologies for doubting you, though hopefully you can see my reasoning haha

Moved to FAQ, should stop it getting lost

Just to confirm, I tried to get a new TPS from VW. The part is now obselete, so your only hope is looking for a broken VR6. In which case the aprt numbers are very useful, cheers :)

Cheers for the info, the one I bought must've been new old stock.

Could i ask what sort of price you paid for it derskine? I have an intermittent problem which has been confirmed through the fault codes that its my TPS. I think i've located a S/H gt one but obviously this could be just as worn and play up at any time.

I'm having problems finding the right one, the common one like this ends in Q:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-2-9-VR6-1991-TO-1995-THROTTLE-POSITION-SENSOR-SEB1569-GENUINE-/251339816799?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a85053f5f

£15 for mine as I recall, was a single sale of a single old stock item though.
