Suggestion · Original poster

When I mentioned the reason they said they had never needed to clean a throttle body before for this reason and suggested putting the code reader on the car first.

Suggestion

The first thing to do would be to clean the throttle body with some carb cleaner.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Idling revs on my car have started to occasionally drop suddenly then catch again. Today it actually stalled as I was in reverse with the clutch fully depressed. Experience of other cars would have me think 'Idle Control Valve' or some such. Does that apply here possibly?

POST 2Original post

It doesn't have an idle control valve. The first thing to do would be to clean the throttle body with some carb cleaner. They can get a bit black and sooty inside, and it makes the butterfly a bit sticky at the closing position.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks matey. Is there a guide somewhere as to how to do so?

POST 4Original post

I don't know of a DIY guide I'm afraid. Maybe a seach on Rennlist or 6Speedonline might show something. It's a piece of cake on a N/A car, but the Turbo is a lot more aggro. You have to take off the air cleaner, boost pipes and intake manifold to get to the throttle body. Once you get there, you can hold the butterfly open and spray/wipe around to remove the deposits.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Decided I will get Autosrtasse do this for me. When I mentioned the reason they said they had never needed to clean a throttle body before for this reason and suggested putting the code reader on the car first. If it isn't the throttle body being choked up then why else might the car exhibit these symptoms? (They wouldn't express an opinion).

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I guess no one knows another possible reason. Here's hoping it's the throttle body then...

POST 8Original post

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Would this stuff be appropriate? I already have a torq driver that will remove the maf. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SERVISOL-SUPE...Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item5ada30a89d

POST 10Original post

Perfecto,just make sure you dont touch the wire or the film with your fingers.A few sprays allow to dry and refit.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ordered Thanks guys. I'll tell you how I get on.
