Don't you hate it when someone starts a thread like this and then abandons it?

 

I hate when this happens also, I kept checking on this thread waiting for a price.

 

It turned out the 'manufacturer' was flying a kite.
They didn't make the sensor, just wanted to know what the interest was.

 

He still could have had the decency to let us all know that. He got lots of replies. I think it was bogus to start.

 

Hi all, sorry about the delay. I was hoping to get a better response from the UK site to up the numbers but didnt get any takers. Jaguar agreed to replace the TB on my 2005 XJR which was a success after a long battle.
Here is the link for the TPS supplier

I have received a quote (probably from the same place the OP was looking) on having the 198500-3300 TPS sensors made, and am waiting for a sample to test and approve. If they send it to me, and it passes, I'm planning on getting a small quantity of them made and I'll offer them for sale. Based on the quote I have, I will probably offer them for $40-50 each, plus shipping. If you are interested in buying any, please email me directly (ceeanton@yahoo.com) and I'll keep you updated on the progress.

 

If its still a go and the sensor going pear shaped is a case of when not if, I am in for 1.

 

Cool. It's all up to them sending me a sample to test. I'll let you know what happens.

 

This TPS being sampled, what years of XJ will it fit? My understanding is that this TPS part may have changed somwhere in the range of 2004 to 2008 model year cars. I understand that early models of the range had them screw onto the throttle body and later years were changed (maybe in design/shap also) and were rivited to the throttle body.

 

Sorry guys, I guess it's not going to happen. The factory rep and I emailed back and forth a couple of times, and everything looked good. They promised to send a sample for me to test, and then I never heard another word from them. Repeated requests for updates have gone completely unanswered.

If I find another small batch source, I'll let you know. In the meantime, good luck.

Thanks,
Anthony

 

I'll take a TPS 198500-3300, got hosed for $1029 to replace my throttle body. Kept the old one, need a TPS for it.

Seems like someone has finally made an aftermarket TPS to replace the unavailable Denso 198500-3300

New Jaguar 02 04 x Type Denso Throttle Position Sensor 198500 3300 | eBay

 

Just got mine replaced this past month for ~$135. Mechanic mentioned he thought there might be a recall coming on them. Saw the prices drop from ~$1200 last month to ~$135 this month through Jaguar.
