Default JG campaign throttle body replacement on 99 A6

Just called Audi customer service. Told me that there is a recall campaign to replace the throttle body in my 99 A6 2.8. Were you guys aware of this? And how will a new throttle body affect the car?? I'm sure for the better.

I ignored mine. Best case scenerio is that they won't break anything and the car will run the same.

Don't bother until it fails. The new one will fail too eventually.

Default any one have a link to one of the recall notices? whats the deal with the TB?

If you are in SoCal, it does not apply to you. Only the states listed in KIWINI-RI's post/link

Default That's not true, it applies to all

SoCal drivers have been known to drive up into the mountains where the TB can ice up.

Read the recall again, it says that a service action is in place for owners outside the "cold weather" states.
