Hi learned members, i actually posted this in the wrong section first,whoops.Anyway,can someone advise me whether replacing the throttle body is a complicated job,or can a novice like me do it?Will i need special tools? Is there any possibility of doing serious damage to the engine?A garage was supposed to do it for me yesterday but i was let down.Now i`m thinking about having a go myself.Rick1 advised me to do it myself,but i`m a bit unsure.Hs anyone done one these recently? Sax. |

Hi Cosser, it`s just the mix control unit that i need to replace.Thanks very much your post is a big help,i think i should be able to manage it now.Is there a gasket between the unit and where it sits? My car is a 1.8 the replacement throttlebody is from a 2 litre,will the settings be the same or close enough? i will get the whole thing set up properly anyway. Cheers, Sax. |

Hi sax, I don't think there's a gasket..?? as for the settings being the same I don't know..I think that's going to be a trial and error job..lol..!! I've had my mix unit off and it's not a huge job..just make sure everything goes together airtight..no leaks..!! Cosser..!! |

Call the dealer with your chassis number and ask if there's a gasket. It'll be pennies if there is. While you're at it ask them if there are any common bits (rubber pipes, etc) that should be replaced / might break at the same time Nick Froome www.w124.co.uk Edited by bolide, Mon May 24, 2010 5:44 pm.

This should answer your question regarding gasket.
