So I have a few questions, firstly, what does this thin line do? Or where does it go to?

Isn't this gap a little large when the throttle is closed?

And I hear a "rattle/knock" sound from the marked area when I tilt the throttle body from side to side as if something is loose inside..
I guess that's not normal? :undecided:

That vac line controls the flap for the freshair/recurculate switch, has somebody tried port the throttle body as it does look like a big gap around the butterfly ,does it have a fast idle?

So that's why the recirculate switch doesn't work.. someone managed to actually snap the little plastic thing which that pipe connects to at the firewall.. :sad:
Unfortunately that picture makes the gap look extremely exaggerated compared to how it actually is.
If I hold it up in the light, I can see light around nearly the entire butterfly, but not enough to really see through.
I will try and get a better picture in the morning.
The idle is 900-950 on average, although on idle it seems to sound as if it has a cam, like a constant lumpy idle as the Mk3's usually do on warm-up.
