Zooom! Yikes!!!

[Ingo D. Rautenberg]

Sorry, Adam

I reread your report and understand now.  I had the same problem but with
different symptoms a couple of years back.  I was demonstrating the prowess
of the beast and became thoroughly embarrassed instead as I coasted to the
side of the road.  Note to self (make sure there is just a bit of slack when
the throttle is mashed, otherwise -- SNAP!)  The black plastic broke on mine
as well and I had two (actually three) choices:

1.  Get replacement from Audi -- nope.  Only available as full throttle body
for mucho $$$$

2.  Get replacement from another 200q20v (best bet, but couldn't find one).

3.  Rework with creative use of dremel 5k throttle body linkage to fit (what
I did).

Good luck.

Ingo

where the cable is detached from the throttle body, looks like the attaching
tab has broken.  So the throttle position is now completely independant of
the gas pedal.  I could try to send you a pic if you think that would help,
my descriptive skills are not the best.
