So I checked out the cost of getting a new TB - around £350 from VW.. My local VW spares shop however can get them straight from the manufacturer for £168 plus VAT. Do you guys think that it is worthwhile replacing the TB? Note that I have had the TB cleaned and re-calibrated by my VW approved mechanic, and still have the over revving issue.

Looking at the stickt thread on throttle bodies - I'm pretty sure I have an ODB2. Do other suppliers (e.g. German & Swedish) sell TB's? Is there a cheaper option than VW? Also, is replacing the TB a DIY job?

Ok, so everything is tight and connected correctly. What is weird is that when I disconnect, re-connect the cables to the TB - the problem impoves then gets worse again which leads me to believe that the problem is internal to the TB. What is the cost of a new TB? Is this a DIY job? Also, what role does the air mass meter play - should I replace it?

Hi folks, I'm new to VR6's but not to vee-dubs, had several air-cooled and a couple of Golf's in the past. Bought myself a lovely N reg VR6, basic model in mint condition at 113K miles.. Love the torque, love the delivery, love the understated looks (she's de-badged in cadbury metallic purple), not so keen on the soft suspension but hey, its a completely stock car. I have an engine problem which has materialised after cleaning the throttle body. I had the TB cleaned as at idle the revs were not settling properly after warm up - nothing too much, just wavering around the 900 to 1000rpm. Now
