I'm replacing the electronic throttle actuator (under the air mass sensor dead center on the engine).
Beckmann has this part 
Rplacement procedure from the CD's "Removing and installing electronic accelerator actuator with throttle valve body 15.8.94"
Procedure calles out fitting the gasket to the actuator with "Hylomar sealant" also tells you to use new "microencapsulated bolts". Anyone bother with this? Is there a permatex type equivalent or just skip the sealant?
Sorry for the confusion

. . I did replace the EA (in Menu#24) because I was convinced it was that module. But it wasn't, so that's why I asked.
I did use some sealant but don't remember what it was. You need to keep the gasket from moving around since when you seat the ETA, it's kinda of a blind operation.
I re-used the same bolts.
