just a quick and maybe silly question, but does that blue gasket need to be replaced that connects it to the inlet?

A Dirty throttle body can result in poor running, mpg ect. Well worth giving it a clean. Should be done approx ever 30k.

Excellent thread, i did this a few days ago and it does make an improvement on how responsive your accelerater is  :smiley:
there was soo much gunk stuck to the rear side of the butterfly
also i drive a 1.6 mk4 and mine was located in a different (kinda opposite) place

on my 1.6 16v ive just cleaned mine+ moved the butterfly loads+ its still fine even though its a DBW, cleaning without being able to get to the edges of the butterfly seems a bit useless??
was caker on good needed scraping off :rolleyes:
