S40 2.0D Throttle Body Cleaning Guide

[craigblues]

Morning All!

Right well after reading many posts on here and struggling to find a picture guide I thought I would lend a hand to anyone else who may want to DIY clean the throttle body rather than pay Volvo £50ish to clean it for you.

Disclaimer: This is a guide of how I did the throttle body clean and therefore take no responsibility if you undertake this work yourself.

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! :-)
