Technical Fiat Punto 2006 1.2 - throttle body issue

[robertradu]

Hi there!

I am having this issue with the throttle body not working anymore. Took the car to the garage yesterday and the mechanic told me, after trying to clean it, that it needs to be replaced. He checked a parts book and based on my reg (AJ56KHZ), it looks like my car needs a throttle body that has this code in the naming: 60629627. Apparently this is the model that I need. With him we tried to look for this part online and the only thing that came up using the model code 60629627 was a used part at 180£ from Latvia. I thought this is quite expensive, so I managed to find 2 people on facebook marketplace selling individual parts for my car. One guy sent me the picture of the throttle body, which based on what he said is from a 1.2 2006 fiat punto.
The question here is that the part from marketplace can be found online as new, but that part does not look like the one found in the picture under that model code 60629627.
I am just confused whether this part will fit my car model. On autodoc, if i put my reg number, it gives me the same throttle body as the guy from marketplace, but apparently using this code 60629627 gives you a different looking body.

I put some pictures with the car too if it helps.

What do you guys recommend?

Thanks a lot for your time!

This is not critical part whatsoever. You can swap them if they fit mechanically and look the same (or almost the same).
Just buy used one on eBay (search query "Throttle Grande Punto 1.2 8V", that's all). You can risk 10-20 quid. Or not?
Compare to yours (TAKE THE AIR FILTER BOX OUT and see yourself). Posted pictures are useless (we know how "Grande Punto" looks like).
Changing a throttle body does not require starting threads on forums.
