To answer your *technical* question, yep, it's all pretty straightforward, no hidden surprises taking this section apart and re-assembling. Make sure you check the two screws that attach the throttle body to the air distributor first, that was the biggest air-leak on my 1.9 when I bought it. I don't know if the screws work loose over time, or they were loose because a prior mechanic didn't tighten them back up after some work. As to the rest, post away with all questions! Anyone who tells you that you shouldn't is kinda missing the point of the list (The same might be said for everyone that responded without addressing you technical question, if it wasn't fried-day ;-) Tim At 05:11 PM 6/22/2006 -0700, Mike Elliott wrote: >I realize I have been flooding the list with questions today, and I >apologize to those members who have publicly and privately requested >that I just shut up a little once in a while why don't I? and also to >those who wish I would but have not said anything. > >Second (I just can't help myself because I have promised Mrs Squirrel a >camping trip in a couple of weeks), I seem to have a leak where the >throttle body joins the air intake distributor on this 1.9L WBX.
