3B Throttle Linkage

TQ-la · 05-23-2009, 01:52 PM

The plastic piece at the end of my throttle linkage cracked and is allowing the throttle to stick open. I temporarily fixed it so I could get home with a ziptie (yes, I know) and I would like to order a new assembly but no one seems to sell these anymore.

Any good parts sources??

Thanks!

Mike

Probably any used throttle piece of plastic crap will be as old and fragile from heating as yours. When my Avant's broke last winter, I double-ziptied mine with heavy duty ties, and I keep a couple in the car.

Buy a good used throttle body or cough up the coin for a billet TB cam.

And if O34's price shocks you, look up the Audi part (034133063dp), which is 10 times as expensive without solving the fragile plastics issue.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm biting the bullet and buying the one from 034.
