Can I Buy This Part

[Bullysteeth]

Is this part available to buy on its own

Not easily im afraid, second hand is your best bet or 034motorsport do a billet one, but its quite pricey.

To get it normally you have to purchase the throttle body aswell. I had exactly the same problem on mine and bought a second hand throttle body instead

[Bullysteeth]

Thought this maybe the case

The 034 one looks like its 10 years old after barely a few weeks use as well

Umm....your engine called. It want's its once a decade cleaning.

[Bullysteeth]

will that make it go faster or better,

Actually yes because then you are paying attention to the engine bay and noting issues when they start. Leaving crud to accumulate is a sign of lack of maintenance or care.

But hey...

Is this part prone to failure ??

Only on dirty engines.

(There is probably more truth to that than even I would imagine).

(Crud gets in the cable channel, cable pressure presses down, maybe on a small pebble, and the plastic side walls of the channel break off).

so when did you last service your engine,and i dont mean ponce it up with a brillo, mines had it all inc cambelt waterpump, pcv system, just coz i dont waste my time cleaning i spend it keeping it runnig spot on, is that a bad thing, well we all have our cross's the bare and shining a bit of alloy is not one of mine,

[bluequattro]

I may have a spare throttle body, will have a look

I never suggested that you should be polishing your cam cover. Some people do that. I do not. I only suggested that your engine needed a bit of washing down and/or wiping to remove the crud that is accumulating (and which might have contributed to the failure of the throttle cable cam).
