Location

The throttle valve actuator is located on the engine at the right front.

Task

The throttle valve actuator regulates the fresh air quantity and mixes the recirculated exhaust with fresh air.

Function

The throttle valve actuator is actuated by the CDI control unit (N3/9) over a pulse width modulation signal and controls the fresh air quantity via the installed throttle valve.

Through connection of the exhaust gas recirculation with the mixing throttle, the suctioned fresh air is mixed with the recirculated exhaust.
