throttle body

Post by willsie01 »

just been quoted £391.20 for a replacement throttle body for my corsa. That's got to be a mistake right?

An auto mechanic friend drove the car to help me find out why the car misses a beat every now and then.
He reckons I need to change the throttle body to fix the problem.
