Loose Cruise Linkage #2

Problem:  The bar that connects the vacuum plunger of the Cruise
Control to the trottle body came off of the ball joint and jammed itself
between the throttle body and the stop while I was on hard acceleration.  I
untangled it, thanked the real GOD for saving me from the various AUDI Gods,
and finished my drive to Toronto, safe and sound.  Ironic?  nope, I live by
Murphy's law.  And now I own an AUDI.  I just handed the rest of my life
over to whoever this Murphy is.  Maybe Unka Bart knows him ; )


Interesting.  The linkage also fell off the cruise in my 200 during a trip
and caused the throttle to hang open slightly - not as drastic as Brett's
experience.  Perhaps this is something to cast the odd look at now and
then??  In my case, I just tied it out of the way for the rest of the trip.
