Throttle position sensor 42.3855

Manufacturer: (МЗАТЭ-2 ,ТАДЕМ)

The manufacturer is the Moscow Plant of Autotractor Electrical Equipment (МЗАТЭ-2), which is now part of the large Russian corporation "ТАДЕМ" (all their products come out with the TADEM logo on the packaging).

Here is the summarized opinion and consensus of drivers and diagnosticians in Russian automotive forums (such as Drive2, Autolada and platforms such as OZON and PartReview):

Main opinion: "Stable and reliable mechanical sensor"

This sensor is of the resistive (contact) type. This means that there are contact "whiskers" inside that slide along the tracks. In Russian forums, the opinion about МЗАТЭ-2 is very good and above the average for the market:

Positive reviews: Owners praise it for its signal linearity. When new, it transmits perfectly smooth values ​​to the computer (ECU), without sharp jumps or “noise” in the voltage. The idle speed is fixed, and the pulling when lightly pressing the gas has disappeared.
Negative reviews: Since it is a mechanical sensor, it has a natural wear limit. After about 30,000 - 50,000 km, the graphite tracks inside are erased in the place where the gas pedal stands most often (at the very beginning of the stroke), which leads to inevitable replacement.

⚙️ Specific comments from the forums

TADEM quality: Users note that since MZATE-2 has been under the umbrella of “TADEM”, quality control at the factory has improved. The percentage of defects directly from the box is extremely low compared to brands such as “Romb” Penza or cheap Chinese analogues.
Advantage over cheap “contactless” sensors:  Many drivers are fooled by cheap contactless (magnetic) sensors, which, however, often have software bugs or “stuck”. Masters advise: “If you can’t afford an expensive high-end contactless sensor (like VTN), it’s better to buy a good mechanical one like MZATE-2 Tadem – it works predictably and accurately.”
Symptoms of wear: The forums warn that when this sensor starts to fail, the car starts to “hang” at high revs (around 1500 rpm) or to jerk sharply when you try to drive smoothly in first or second gear in a traffic jam.

Rating and rating on platforms

In online stores such as OZON and Yandex Market, the MZATE-2 sensor holds a solid rating of 4.6 to 4.8 out of 5 stars based on hundreds of reviews. Buyers define it as the best price-quality ratio in the segment of standard original spare parts
