You are new to this forum so Iam gonna save my slap for my azz. Ask any of the old forum members. It's a direct plug and play. $100 is cheap they use to go for $250+ at TVT design.

nice man u need a number t40 for the 4x bolts on the TB...


Try Weber Brothers before you try doing the electronics swap. The phone number is 1(800)222-2528. Tell them you need a TB from a 2003 S-Class or model with similar engine, part number 113 141 01 25. This is the part # for the plug and play model, no swapping of connectors involved. They should be able to search based on the part number. If they don't have one in stock I'm sure they can get you one. I got a couple of them from local salvage yards and a couple from them, people were and obviously still are having big trouble finding them.

"changing the electronics" is not as simple as it sounds. The wires from the connector are soldered and crimped. It is very hard to disconnect with out tearing it up. I guess I should have just cut them off and soldered to the tab, but it looked like the tabs could be spread open and the wire removed. Some did come right out but others have been hard to separate.
If you are supposed to change the motors and gears it is going to be more difficult. Some of the parts look to be pressed on and may require a miniture gear puller. The #125 would have been the best way to go, no doubt. I wish I had known this wasn't that easy to do and I would have waited to buy it. Now I have a $100 part I can't use( probably) and I can't return it now. It's not the sellers fault either, he sold exactly what he said he was selling, so now I either make this one work or buy another one ending in 125.

I'm going to weigh in as well. Got the 74mm T-body (113 141 00 25) from alpine auto this week. I have the 112 141 01 25 on my '04. No problems getting the old one off, and I was open to swapping out the electronics. However, the electronics module crimped on the 74mm is a different shape than the one on the 68mm one. In the pictures, the 74mm is on the left, and the 68mm is on the right. The shape, location of the crimping pieces and the depth of the crimping pieces don't match. Any tips?

Electrically, both have 6-pin connectors, but the 68mm is oblong, and the 74mm is round. Do we need to get the male connector from the 74mm donor car and spice it into our wire harness?

Like Dtinker, I suspect this looks like a lost cause. Appreciate any help.

I'm going to play this by ear. I'm not going to tear up the OEM TB to get the connector to put on the 74mm TB I bought, not at least right now. I'm still trying to determine if I'm just swapping the connectors or all the internals ( motors, etc.) Still have had no comments as to answer of that question. I'm feeling like I need to buy the 125 version of the 74MM TB and that this one that I bought is a learning moment. Time will tell, I'm going to wait a little while for more info.

Remove the pins or clips on the eletronics on both throttle bodys and exchange them and your set and good to go... Just double check all your hoses are connected. Turn your key on your car let it run alittle and let it learn your new air flow and you are set.

I finally got mine today, the A1131410025 part number. It is NOT compatible with ours. The cast bored housing is differnt shaped where the gearing cover clips on. The 025 part number is expanded where the connector is built into the casting, and the 125 has the connector on the cover like ours does. Looks like we have a $100 paper weight. It isn't worth trying to rig an adaptor or splicing the original harness when one will come along for 125 bucks later.

The p/n in the auction (A113 141 01 25) is the direct bolt-on swap.... no changing of electronics.
Mercedes part # A 113 141 01 25
Bosch part # 0 280 750 017

The A 113 141 00 25 came on the 2000 S500 and have different electronics which need to be swapped.
