AFM issue ... 91 ix

[EA8]

most likely this is a dumb question ... but here goes

So I was checking my AFM the other day and I noticed that the flap does not always stop flush, it sometimes goes past its so called "zero mark" and stops after it. To me this seems like a faulty AFM and might be causing/part of my occasional erratic idle (Bentley was unclear on this), just want to make sure with all you experts over here.

Cheers ...

not even a suggestion ?

I'm no expert on these cars but I would say that could cause idle problems. Could it maybe be a bad spring in the flap mechanism?

change the damn thing and see if it fixes the problem /end

[EA8]

@325ix - not sure if you can even open the thing up to do so ...
@Adrian_Visser - changing it is the easy way, just wanted to see if it made sense to anyone, or if someone had a similar issue before and what their fix was ....

cheers
