        Throttle bodies do wear  out, especially the butterfly grinding a
groove in the throat of the body  opening.  I fix this and add shims above on
the end of the shaft to  keep this from occurring again.  See my _VW
Vanagon Waterboxer Throttle Body  Rebuilding_
(http://www.frankcondelli.com/tb.htm)  website.  $250 exchange or $300 outright.  That's  Canadian dollars just
in case your wondering !
