This was very interesting, and I applaud your victory over a VERY hard to find defect. Can you just swap this throttle body with the one on the other side where the port is not used, or does that body not have a port? It certainly makes me wonder how this carb lasted all this time. Russ, wouldn't this defect have been found at the dealership in the initial setup of the car? I suppose this means that the carb was sold later. What do you think? Does this appear to be a complete OE carb? - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
