throttle body problem
« on: 23 July 2011, 11:25 »
I'm in need of some advise, the throttle body on my 1.8T AGU is playing up the part number is 06A 133 063 F its the one with cruise control, problem is new ones cost £400-600 and I'm after a used one and I cant find one anywhere, would I be able to use another throttle body off a another AGU? for example with the part numbers 06A 133 063 G or M or Q at the end instead of F? Im not really bothered about he cruise control.
