Throttle body

**pa4ul** · 10-09-2008 09:35 AM

MY car has been fucked with by my damn mechanic. the flap inside the TB has been grinded down. MY mechanic is telling me i need to replace the entire tb and its $415 which im not going to spend. its to my understanding that u can replace the flap in the tb so i looked on ebay to purchase a used one and now my question is does this part still have to be calibrated and if so whats the best way to do it? here are some of the TB replacements im looking at. are these the right ones. I have a 2003 audi 1.8t

Cross reference that part # to the one on your car now. I have throttle body parts if you just want to swap shit into your current housing. The company selling the first part you linked is in my town. I have never heard of 970 Auto Parts. I think they are internet based only...

Search for instructions on doing a throttle body adjustment.

I told you I would give you my busted TB that you could use the throttle plate out of. Just send me enough money to cover shipping at least and its yours. Why are you posting the same thread again?

Did you forget about this thread?

Its not that damn hard to understand and has already been said, and I told you in the PM ... if the TB is out of the car or unplugged you need to run channel 060 on vagcom after reinstallation to realine the throttle plate.

Or you can just read the Easter Egg post and it will tell you how to realign the Trottle without the Vag-com. Also the plate is super easy to swap. It will take u 2 min once the throttle body is off the car. Its just 2 screws that hold the plate on and 4 that hold the throttle on and one plug and 1 hose clamp.

Come on. Get with the program. Its not rocket science. Everything has been explained to you by the man above who knows what hes talking about and the rest is all on Audizine. DAMN!

Would you like someone to come to your house and change it too?
