« on: 23 November 2004, 17:17 »
Hi, i have a reoccuring problem with my throttle housing on my 1992 mk2

The throttle nut keeps coming loose and i've lost two nuts now the problem is frustrating and ive had to take the nut off my mk1 16v so i dont have one for this one now,  can anyone advise if this is an easy fix?? And has n e one got new nut & washers??
