[V8] Throttle stuck open!!

[kyle leatherwood]

John,

Had the same problem when I first got the V8.  The problem was the rod where 
the cruise control connected to the throttle.  Got the parts for the Recall 
for this from the Audi dealer here and problem fixed.  Also fixed the 
jerking when decelerating and the surging I was experiencing.

Hope this helps,

Kyle
