From my 1974 1.8
Just got my TB back from a total rebuild. Came out really nice. Done by a machinist on the Samba user name whip618 does really nice work. Machined with bearings and seals, new Pivot shaft, new Butterfly, over bored, rebuilt TPS, All fresh cad plating, machined mounting surfaces. Pressure tested. I just put it in today, but have not had time to try it out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Also a new seal by 914 Rubber. Will post follow up. Attached thumbnail(s)

Not sure if the spring is replaced. He does lots of these for VW applications. Some of the sticking is due to the butterfly wearing against the side wall allowing it to over close and stick. Mine was worn in this area.
Here is the thread on The Samba where I was able to find Phil the machinist. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6790104 Price is dependent on the level of rebuild I think. Not cheap, but the quality and performance is outstanding. Takes a couple weeks turn around time. |

He also does an exceptional job blueprinting the original type 4 oil pump, given you can supply a good core to start with. |
