Seademon 0 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 You could try strictly dubs www.strictlydubs.com I think it is - they seem to have lots of parts available. Tried posting on ED38? Link to post Share on other sites
Big P 1 Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Yeah i have spoken to the lads a couple of times about different things, didnt think to ask about that, will do!just didnt want to buy a secondhand one and have it do it again maybe its worth a try thoCheers fella Link to post Share on other sites
rickvr6 0 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 You could fit the 2.9 one whilst your at it too, unless you already have one. Link to post Share on other sites
Big P 1 Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Thought the 2.9 one wasn't much different to mine, the obd2 one?if i can the great!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
rickvr6 0 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Not sure, all i know is that the 2.9 one is bigger. Link to post Share on other sites
Seademon 0 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 The Corrado 2.9 ones dont fit as they will be OBD1 but you could fit a TB from a Syncro etc as they are OBD2 but the chances of you finding one are pretty slim - keep an eye on german ebay you might find one pop up on there along with a 2.9 inlet manifold ;0) Link to post Share on other sites
Big P 1 Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 cool, will keep an eye out!Anyone got the part number for a syncro tb? ! :| Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Rich 3 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Whats wrong with your throttle body? I may have one for sale soon that is on my car so I know its fine.Like has been said the corrados are OBD1 so wont fit to yours but the syncros are OBD2. I dont think the throttle body is different though to the 2.8 one AFAIK. The only difference being the inlet manifold. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 syncro tb is the same obd2 one Link to post Share on other sites
Big P 1 Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 It wont let Vag com reset it, no matter what you do, also is only openning to 70%, its causeing the idle to drop very low, some times causing it to stallYou going for the throttle bodies kit then?
