Title: mk4 golf throttle body gasket
Post by: scooter perv on 02 October 2011, 21:19

Just a quickie but need to know whether all mk4 golfs have a gasket between the throttle body and unit it bolts to with the 4 allen headed bolts? Got problems with eratic idle and thought id give the t/b housing a good clean today and noticed there was no gasket there. Its a 1.6 se if that helps `98 plate. Gave it a good clean cos it was well gunked up but its only made it worse so hoping that if I run it around it may reset or find someone with vag.com but it could be this missing gasket that is not helping.

once you,ve cleaned it will be slighter higher on idle but will settle down
