All the Magnetti Marelli Electronic throttle bodies from 1999 - 2002 model years are linked to the particular car / ECU with unique software . someone on here has said he fitted a used one and it worked . But if that is true the problem comes next time the car is connected to the computer and software ordered , there will be a mismatch error due to the foreign module on the network . This could render the car "dead" and require very expensive repairs ..
