[Guide] How to clean throttle body (2.0 petrol)
I recently cleaned out the throttle body on my 2009 2.0 petrol S40 and thought I'd write up a guide for anyone else interested in doing it. I assume this would be very similar for the 1.8 petrol engine but I'm not sure about the others. Access was very easy for my engine.

Thanks for this StatusRed,
Will be doing the same for my partners 2.0 C30. It has a little bit of idle vibration (not sure if it's idling lower than it should) so want to clean throttle etc to make sure there's no gunk build up restricting idle airflow. |
C30
Did you ever get round to this T5R?
How similar was it to Reds experience above on a C30? |
I recently did this on the T5. It's similar with some notable differences:
* There's very little room in the engine bay so the snorkel has to come off. I also moved the air filter box but this probably isn't required if you're just doing this job. * The intake to the throttle body is a big pipe connecting from intercooler. I recommend removing this pipe entirely for space reasons. It's held onto the throttle body with a jubilee clip. * The throttle body is mounted directly on the intake plenum with 4 torx screws - the top 2 are easy to get at, the bottom ones are not. Refitting is the reverse but be patient with the bottom 2 torx screws - one is a particular #%&@##! It was at this point I removed the pipe from the intercooler so I could get both hands in there. |
Torque
Is there a torque setting for the 8mm bolts on re-fitting?

I am wanting to clean the throttle body on my 1.8 petrol V50. However it seems it is not a normal jubilee clip holding it on (ie it doesn’t have a screw to loosen the clip).
Any ideas how to remove this? Tried to upload a pic but forum gives an upload error. |
