Throttle body shaft seals, MachV still sells them I believe.

 

I just tested mine today and got the same results

 

Spray some soapy water on it and you'll be able to see where it's leaking from. Probably either the shaft seals, gaskets, or vacuum ports.

What does that have to do with anything?

If you can let the car be down for a little while, you might consider sending a PM to Steve (Red1991TSI) and see if he can rebuild your throttle body for you. He's a mod of the forums and does great work. Look him up.

 

What do you know I think my tb shaft seals are taken a crap too. Another thing to add to my list of never ending parts replacing.

 

We've all been there, the car will be night and day with a new set!

What exactly does a rebuild include? I might have to look into doing this.

And while I'm at it, does a 1G throttle body flow better than a 2G?

 

1g TB is 60mm, a decent upgrade from the restrictive 2g. I just had my TB rebuilt, and all of the screws were zinc plated, the housing glass beaded, the entire unit disassembled and reassembled, new gaskets, new shaft seals, etc.

 

I think I might invest in one then.

 

I replace the TB shaft seals with new O-rings, new BISS screw O-ring and if you want I do a FIAV block off plate. I can do the rebuild with new Chicago Rawhide seals for $10 more, but frankly I don't like working with them and won't guaranty they'll be leak free. I find the good ole O-rings work the best and seal pretty tightly. It's a little more work for me but I don't worry too much about it.

If anyone is interested, PM me.

 

Well I figure if I'm gonna have one rebuilt I might as well buy a 1G first. How much do you charge?

I like the Rawhide seals better myself. :dunno:

 

I think my throttle is a little sticky too. It revs at 2000rpm in neutral. It also jerks a little when down shifting.

You might want to address that problem.
