Cleaning the Throttle Body on T5 Engine
Can someone reassure me that it is possible to use CRC throttle body cleaner on my V70 XC (Turbo engine). CRC YouTube guide states that the product should not be used on Turbo Engines. Also is the T.B. on this engine electronic (fly by wire) or an analogue linkage system. If it is the former, then I understand the butterfly valve must only be opened using the accelerator while engine is off, or else resulting in damaged gears in the T.B. and destination F@#$ed.

do you have a specific need to want to clean it, or is this just a general maintenance query

When i`ve cleaned the T/B on my T5 in the past I`ve used an Injection System Cleaner (same as i used on injectors) and used a soft cloth and cotton buds. With the T/B off the car it`s possible to clean both sides of the butterfly valve without moving it. I`ve had no issues to date.

Have to replace the MAF, so was thinking an ideal time to do a clean of the TB at the same time. Also Car has just hit 100,000 km and 19 years old, so doing a significant service at this time.
