So, now that my 1.8L is running happy again, I’m able to notice small issues. Today I noticed that my throttle body appears to have some wear inside it. Idle was a little high and when I pushed on the linkage arm, it returned to normal.
So, I think a full rebuild is in order. And if it happens to come out a little larger, we that wouldn’t bother me a bit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Who would you recommend to make my throttle better than new? |

Yeah Mark, I can’t really say who he was talking about as there isn’t really anyone I can find that does this service professionally. I also don’t know what he means by adding a positive vertical locking feature for the shaft?
I understand your reluctance to invest in cad plating equipment given your “hobby” status. I’ve come close to buying a 5 gal bucket type setup myself, but I just don’t have enough use for it since I replace all the old bolts I take off. What do you think about stepping up to be the full service guy? Van |
