Throttle Body for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: Neoprene
This throttle body for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is specified around neoprene, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is premature wear on the first batch, or a supplier who changed material without saying so. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 3000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
