Title: Throttle Switch - A Bit of A surprise - They Are Left And Right Handed
Post by: Pawel66 on September 26, 2021, 13:32:39
Just discovered: the throttle switch I had on the shelf and wanted to replace today turns in the opposite direction vs. the one I had in the car...

I just cleaned up my old one and put it back.

I did not know they may be turning in different directions. There is no way to re-arrange them.

How do I look for the correct one when I am buying it on e.g. ebay?

I know that when I hold it the way it goes on the throttle, it should turn right. But how to explain it to an ebay seller?

I think with help from wwheeler we managed to figure out what this switch is. I think PN is A 0005453404. Fits engines:

M127982 and M127984 - so fits cars W111 014 (220SEb),
M100981, M100982 and M100983 - so it fits all W100 cars and W109 018 (300SEL 6.3)

I  posted on Wanted To Buy as I need this switch, but happy to swap. I also posted it in Items For Sale.
