[s-cars] Throttle cable connection parts

[calvin]

I had this problem and found there is no separate part, you have to purchase
the entire throttle body for some ridiculous price.  I used a large bolt and
made the part out of metal. I provided pics at the time, but I no longer
have the car.  It is somewhat difficult to make, lots of grinding with a
grinding wheel.  I tried gluing it back together with super glue, but it
just fell apart again.  The idea of that there is no replacement part for a
plastic part that can get you killed when it fails is one reason I longer
plan to own an Audi after years of great performance.

No worries Tom. I ordered the 034 steel cam which I understand removes the
entire problem of the  broken plastic piece. After suffering from not quite
full throttle for months, I wanted it right. At just 136k miles and having
my UrS4 for about 10 years, I still love it, she's worth this repair for all
the grins she gives me ;-)
