... I am about to clean my throttle body in the next few days and i just wanted to know if anyone had particular advices or any hint on doing it properly. I bought a new gasket for it and some throttle body cleaner, safe for o2 sensors and electronics. Anything else i need?. Anyone has some pics of doing this maintenance?. I looked for a write up in the information forum but nothing is there. Any help is appriciated :wink:
There's a vicious rumour you should avoid allowing the cleaning solution to get into the little axle holes that the butterfly valve pivots on. Something about the fluid harming the stepper motor. Just avoid drenching it with cleaner, and maybe use Q-tips around that particular area.
make sure you secure the hose back on when you are done tightly! I did mine half assed the first time and it blew off the TB on the highway! It sucked as I was KIA until my friend brought me a new temp worm clamp from Autozone. :weirdo:
Wow, thanks for all the advices and link, i really apriciate it. As far as Vag-com, goes after the cleaning, i'm sure i can call Cody251 and maybe borrow a little time of his, if he is available :thumbup: .
ahhhh, sweet, easy to disconnect the battery, thnaks bro :wink: . I take it you disconnect before you start the work?
