RE: WOT Switch

["PAT MARTIN" <MARDKINS@msn.com>]

If you buy a UR-q or 5kt full throttle switch they are about 1/2 the price.  
You have to perform a little surgery on the wiring but this is a less 
expensive alternative.

My wide-open-throttle switch on my 1988 90q reads 30 ohms when 
actuated (should be near zero).  This switch appears to be assembled 
in a way that precludes contact repair.  It also is part of an 
assembly that includes the idle switch and a connector, list price 
about $120 US.  Replacing the assembly appears to be time consuming as 
the idle switch is under the throttle body and difficult to access 
without removing a lot of "stuff" (technical term).

Anyone out there ever repaired the WOT switch, preferably in situ?

Anyone out there have a spare functioning switch, new or used, that I 
could purchase and splice into the switch assembly harness?

Anyone out there able to suggest which Audi models use this same 
design switch?
