Throttle Control Element for Camshaft Timing

The throttle control element for camshaft timing is a critical engine management component used in the Porsche 95B.1 Macan 2.0ltr engine. It regulates the flow of engine oil to the camshaft timing system, allowing the engine control unit to precisely adjust valve timing in response to engine load, speed and driving conditions.

Fits:

• Porsche 95B.1 Macan Petrol 2.0L 237Bhp 2014 - 01/06/2016

What Does the Throttle Control Element Do?

The throttle control element acts as a finely controlled valve within the camshaft timing circuit. By regulating oil pressure to the camshaft adjusters, it allows the engine to:

• Optimise valve timing across the rev range
• Improve low-speed torque and high-speed power
• Enhance throttle response and drivability
• Reduce fuel consumption and emissions

This precise control ensures the engine operates efficiently and smoothly under all driving conditions.

Why Do Throttle Control Elements Fail?

Throttle control elements operate in a high-temperature environment and rely on clean, correctly pressurised engine oil. Common causes of failure include:
Oil contamination or sludge build-up

• Internal valve sticking or wear
• Electrical or solenoid malfunction
• Extended oil service intervals

Typical symptoms of failure may include:

• Engine warning lights or fault codes
• Poor throttle response Loss of power or uneven acceleration
• Rough idle or reduced fuel efficiency

Why Replace the Camshaft Timing Throttle Control Element?

Replacing a faulty throttle control element helps restore:

• Accurate camshaft timing adjustment
• Smooth power delivery
• Improved engine efficiency
• Reduced risk of further timing system damage

Continued operation with a failing control element can place excess strain on camshaft adjusters and internal engine components, leading to increased repair costs.
