there was a TSB issued. . . the throttle cable needs to be adjusted. Take it to the dealer, it should be free.

I just took my xB into the dealer for this issue and they told me it is normal for my car and that their was nothing wrong. If there is a TSB please let me know so that I can take it with me to the dealer and get this issue fixed.

and tell em u are unhappy with their previous statement of nothing wrong , maybe u can get some free oil changes or something , or at least the service guys can learn something.

i did mine in about 2 minutes.. why hassle yourself with waiting at the dealer?

well alot of people arent that mechanically handy and with the xca a lil less room so some people are intimidated. if i had the specs id do it to mine , my only prob is the fluctuating idle.
