Hi, Thanks for the guide but for some reason I can't see the images, anyone know why that might be. Just bought an 09 V50 2.0D R-Design and having starting issues, so going to clean out the trottle body and free up the inlet flap. Just noticed a split in the inlet pipe just before it connects to the inlet manifold, very frustrating. Can someone advise if there is a way of replacing the inlet pipe without rmoving the front bumper. Thanks in advance.

Took the TB off today cleaned it and the sensor with carb cleaner and sanded down the edges of the inlet flap. Took a while to get the flap right. Also put jubilee clip around the inlet pipe where the split is as a temporary measure until I can figure out how to replace. Have had no starting issues since so moving in the right direction. Cheers Dave

Right so here is the engine with throttle body attached.



Here is the throttle body with everything still attached.



Remove the white data lead/cable on the left.



Then remove the Green data lead/cable on right.



Remove the black tube connected to the side of the plastic throttle body.



Here you can see two of the torx bolt holes. (I have removed the bolts so you can see better) There is an additional bolt underneath the throttle body.



Success! Throttle body removed.



The state of inside my throttle body when removed.



The other side. Yuck!





Right out came the carb cleaner and an old toothbrush. :-) Oh and an old rag/cloth. Then hey presto, all nice and clean again.



Hope this helps some people. Good Luck! :-)
The pictures in this guide are no longer available. I’ve searched but can’t find an alternative. Anyone know if this has been remade or copied else where?
