Loose throtle body

Recommended Posts

hey,

 

i decdied to take of my old K&N induction kit and put the standard airbox on tonight. Took it out a run after doing so and after about 10mins the car stalled and when i tried 2 start it, it was squeeling!!! It sounded like it was coming from the throttle body and upon inspection, it 3bolts were slack and the other missing!!!

 

Has it just been a case of them not being tightened properly??? Also does anyone know the size of bolt or should i just order one from VW??

 

Car is a bit too quiet for my liking with the standard box :( thinking of either drilling it or investing in a RAM air filter????

 

Cheers,

 

Andy

Never heard of them coming loose on their own, just tighten them up and get a new one, you'll be fine.
