Mercedes-Benz MB100 Throttle Body Replacement Parts

The MB100 van was only ever offered with carburetted petrol engines or diesel engines, and neither type uses a throttle body in the modern electronic sense — carburettors handle mixture and airflow directly, while the diesel variants have no throttle body at all. If you are searching for a throttle body for an MB100, it is likely you actually need a carburettor, a carburettor repair kit, or possibly an idle control component depending on your exact fault. Check your V5 or a VIN check to confirm your engine code, then speak to a breaker who specialises in this van or in older Mercedes commercial vehicles. They will be able to point you towards the correct fuelling component for your specific engine.

If your MB100 has a petrol engine, the part controlling airflow and fuelling is the carburettor, and that is what you should be searching for — breakers who stock MB100 parts will list it correctly under that name. If your van is diesel, there is no throttle body or carburettor; fuelling is controlled by the injection pump, so that or its associated components are more likely what you need. Confirm your engine code from your V5 or a VIN decoder before approaching a breaker, as the correct carburettor or injection pump specification depends on the exact engine fitted.

It is theoretically possible that a previous owner converted a carburetted MB100 to fuel injection, which would introduce a throttle body that was never fitted as standard, but this would be a non-original modification and not something a breaker would stock as a like-for-like used part. If your van has been modified in this way, you would need to identify the specific injection system that was used in the conversion and source parts for that system rather than searching for a Mercedes MB100 throttle body. A specialist breaker or a garage familiar with the MB100 can help you identify what is actually fitted to your vehicle.

Listings of this kind are almost certainly either mislabelled, based on incorrect catalogue data, or refer to a modification rather than a standard factory fitment, as the MB100 was not manufactured with electronic throttle bodies as original equipment. It is worth contacting the seller directly and asking them to confirm the exact engine code and vehicle the part was removed from before purchasing. If you are looking for a used fuelling part for your MB100, describing your engine code and fault to a specialist breaker will get you a much more reliable result than relying on generic online listings.
