Name that car part

Postby kexon » Wed Feb 13, 2008 4:57 pm

Could anyone give me the english name for the Valuula estranguladora completa colector admision.
Plus any other car part names that come to mind Spanish with English name.
I learning a brand new language never mind ordinary spanish.

Many thanks

valvula estranguladora is your throttle valve
colector de admision is your inlet manifold
Google works for me!
Or try http://www.obrasmechanicos.com/spanishgloss.html, US Spanish but some useful terms.

Thankfully its not mine now, someone else looking for parts but could only give me the spanish. I am fast becoming some kind of parts sourcer, funny how one bit of your own mis fortune could almost create a new career
Mine is the ecu and its coming from the UK, hopefully that will be it.
As I understand it in spain there is no such thing as reconditioned parts it either the scrap yard or new. A scrap yard ecu could cause more problems than it solves.

Once again thanks for the info.
