Hello,
I'm working on the engine of my 914 1.8 from 12/73 (L-jetronic). The butterfly of the trottle body is very sticky and I want to replace it. I searched the internet and was not able to find such VW part... Any ideas were to source this part in Europe...? Many thanks. Butterfly partno.: 022.133.141A   Thanks for the replies and shared info... I already took the TB apart and cleaned is. The bearings and seals seem not bad. See below pic what I believe causes the sticking, a ridge has formed over the years. The butterfly sticks on this ridge (IMHO).  So some kind of honing of the bore and a new butterfly...? |

typical, the 1.8 only is the only throttle body of the three that begins to stick, and it is a hassle as one has to "break it loose" each time one steps on the gas pedal. A machine shop should be able to rebuild it for you . We sold our last new old stock one about two months ago, and the many used we have here probably all stick
