« on: 24 February 2012, 19:20 »
i have a 1.8 t agu    and was thinking of cleaning throttle body 2 moz mine as throttle cable  am i right once i have cleaned it will settle itself after a few miles and dont need to set it up . I have scanned car for faults no faults stored as car seems to judder very slight when driving at low speeds when letting off throttle only does it know and then  and some times feels to hold back very slightly when opening throttle .

done about 8 miles and seems when you come to a stop and you press clutch down  it will rev about 1.300 rpm and slowly drop down to normal 800rpm its the AGU engine with cable
