Thanks for watching !

Do you have to disconnect the neutral from the battery at all?

[@Pashh_UK]

I've seen that you're not meant to touch the actual valve, is this the case with this car?

[@iknowklaus]

Hey, stupid question, can you use WD-40 / some de-greasers i find at the local store... Do you recommend any brand?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I would only recommend a proper carb/egr cleaner for this job.

Hello.. Do I have to recoding the throttle Body after refitting by the computer?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

With certain cars the throttle body needs to be adapted after cleaning using a scan tool: www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Volkswagen_Golf_GTI_Mk_V/43-FUEL-Throttle_Body_Cleaning_Replacement/43-FUEL-Throttle_Body_Cleaning_Replacement.htm

@@screwsnutsandbolts your very welcome! Channel is awesome. Could I just check that u don’t need to remove negative battery terminal, or both battery terminals (positive and negative) prior to removal. I don’t have VAG software, and I’m pretty sure your supposed to need to do a throttle body alignment after this, otherwise you get a check engine light no? Any help appreciated!

Hi,is this the same for the 1.4 tsi? Thanks

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I'm not sure if the Tsi throttle body is the exact same but it's probably quite similar

[@dougiegraham662]

Thanks for the reply

I had a look and it's quite different with the turbo and supercharger​@@screwsnutsandbolts

You do not have to calibrate it?
