Post by: gtiscott on 31 October 2009, 11:41

as the title guys i have read up on the cleaning part, just wondering..when i disconect the battery is this going to f@~k up my alarm(autowatch) as i only have the fob thing and not a master key(if there is one) or anything.

cheers

why do you need to disconnect battery? Not needed for cleaning the throttle body, but I would have thought if you disconnected then there would be no problems as the fob is paired up with the control unit.

thought when you done this you had to reset ecu or something by disconecting battery for a while? even better if i am wrong then :smiley:
