These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

My local dealership is running a special on cleaning the throttle body, Intake runners and Intake valves for $99. My car is an '06 Box with 17k miles. When should one consider cleaning the intakes? Only if car is sluggish? At a certain mileage? This seems reasonably cheap for a PITA job but since it is cheap I suspect it isnt something that is needed. Thoughts? :thanks:

POST 2Original post

I have a '05 Boxster with over 50K miles. I don't think this has ever been recommended for me. My guess is they will spray a cleaner in the throttle body to clean it. I doubt it would hurt to have them cleaned. Welcome to PP and RollTide!

POST 3Original post

my answer is never and welcome to the board. If you regulary change your air filter there is no need.

POST 4Original post

There is a comment and a video regarding the same on Aston Martin PH forum.... Holding back at low Revs back at low Revs
