Default Audi techs, quick Q
I have a 99 A4 1.8T Quattro, i just purchased a throttle body off ebay and i didnt realize it was for an Automatic tranny, would it still work on a Manual?

I cant see any way it will effect the ECU all you need to check is all electrical connectorsare the same, you can take any electricalparts you need from your old throttle body
