No I dont and I remember that thread. I still don't see how that could possibly cause that.

Yes, if that were the cause there would be ALOT more broken throttle bodies out there.

A good friend of mine has had the same problem with TB's breaking on him a few times and I always end up replacing then. Well last weekend I was doing some routine maintenance and dressing up his engine bay i'll post a few pictures. When it finally happen to me LOL no issue I had a few BP TB spares for his turbo 1.6 setup and was back on the road in no time. All in all that problem has happen 3-4 times already. So you are not the only one who has had that weird problem happen too.
