Interesting - your throttle body appears to be different to mine. On mine, the part you have arrowed has no axle or bearings, it's just a blank casting. If you look closely, you'll notice the screw holes on yours are blanked off on mine
. Out of interest, what does that connect to on yours?
The mechanical parts were indeed re-plated, however I can't take credit for that - it was done by member "Sagalout".

Honestly don't know, but I'm sure Sagalout will advise if you send a PM.

Thanks, that's what I'm hoping. MarinaBrian has confirmed that Haynes is wrong when they state that this may also be necessary after disconnecting the battery, so they don't have a great track record in the throttle body department, but you never know
.
Cheers,
