I haven't a clue what it is/does (and don't really want to know), but my mechanic tells me I need one. He's ordered it from AA, who keep promising to send it and haven't yet. If they don't come through by next week, who else would have one? HPH doesn't, although Brad did give Andy (yet another one ) my mechanic, the part number. I think he's tried PP.

Any ideas?

I think the gasket between the throttle body & plenum is NLA. Just have him make one out of gasket paper.

Even if it was still available from AA, I would make one before waiting for them to send one.

or just goop up the old one as I think the 1.7 ones are NLA.

i seem to recall the 1.8 and the 1.7 plenums are similar. could a 1.8 gasket work?

The part number is 022 133 073, which he says is a VW part? It's a rubber tapered wide O ring type and funnel shaped.

Appreciate your help.

Pelican says NLA. It's a cone shaped rubber gasket unlike the 2.0 paper gasket.

a trick is to use a 2.0l vanagon TB switching the outside linkage and tapping the screwholes for the TPS. a few more hp due to the larger hole.
I wonder if this TB seal is still available?

Ed is mailing one to Andy (my mechanic). Thanks for the offer. I've got to convince Andy to come to the BBS for the help he needs.

This board is super

Joan, inquiring minds want to know

what is "jarbuthnot"

a definition? a little known Norse god or goddess? that lived before Lief?

or something completely different :>

Sorry, it's nothing but my name: Joan Arbuthnot and before anyone asks, Arbuthnot is not French, it's an old Gaellic (spelling?) place name, as in Arbuthnott, Scotland, where my ancesters came from in 1774 and dropped the third 't' when they came over.
