hi!
when i pulled out my engine two years ago, the stupid part of my brain decided to disassemble the throttle cable spring assembly on the throttle body.
I found this exploded view of the tb but i can´t see exactly how it all goes together and it does´nt look right(springs kind of loose)

North west part of the picture
i can upload pics of my TB soon to see what i mean.
the car is s5 t2.

 

Fear not, you're not the only one who's been there-done that. I did the same thing a few years ago. Honestly, I had to sit down and just use my brain with how the springs tensioned. At the end of it, they apply very little force, only there to take the slop out. Sounds like you might already have it correct. Good luck.

 

 

okay, theres to endings on a spring, but it looks like there are three slots to attach the springs to (marked in red on pics)






that is what i am asking, because i cant find a picture and the exploded view is not precise enough.
thank you!
