Hya,

Quick one: I've just cleaned the throttle body pretty well and noticed that there seemed to be grease on the coiled up spring. Is that intensional? If so, anyone know what grease is appropriate and where exactly it needs to go?

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks, I think it implies that grease is needed in the body but not on the spring...

 

I recently bought a brand new 928 Tb in the factory box, and it had grease on the linkage but not on the springs.

 

Hey, that's my web page! The grease is only needed when installing the shaft into the throttle body during a rebuild to prevent damage to the seals during the installation. There's no grease needed anywhere on the TB if you are simply cleaning it; the TB rebuild instructions I got with the kit don't mention adding grease anywhere else.
