I know there's been squillions of questions regarding throttle body cleaning and removal, but i just bought a gregories repair manual for my VT and according to that to clean the throttle body out it doesnt have to be removed, only the intake pipng leading into it must be removed? everyone ive spoken too has explained that it has to be removed....
Would i be able to give it a better clean with it removed or am i gonna be ok cleaning her out while still attatched to the plenum?
Any answers/help would be great
Cheers
Its Very easy Mate. Its a Similar process to this. Even though its a VR
CleaningThrottle Body VR V6
Basically, Pull of the Air intake tube, disconnect 2 electric cables on the throttle body, remove your throttle cable(s) Pull off i think 3 air hoses, then 2 bolts that hold it on. Dont clean it while its still on, wont work as you cant clean the other side of it.
Thats what i thought, i was thinking it might make it an impossible mission to clean out the other side if i left it on.... curse you silly but useful manual!!! Thanks for that, il give it a go on a day off. just hope i can remember where all the vac lines atc go too! might mark them out...
Thanks heaps!
