I can do the machining myself, that's not a problem. I was just under the impression that there were rubber seals that needed ot be replaced at the same time. I have not had it apart yet.

The issue is getting the butterfly back in and centered,. I've not done a VW throttle body so I cant comment on any actual issues encoutered, but if you've got the right shop/ machinest, they can advise you. Mark //The only place I believe I may still have a vacuum leak is at the throttle body shaft. If I rev it quickly, I can hear a bit of air rushing in. Does anyone have a source for new TB shaft seals or a procedure for replacing them? Clint
