Title: throttle body clean /adjustment
Post by: stevelfc on 24 February 2012, 19:20
i have a 1.8 t agu    and was thinking of cleaning throttle body 2 moz mine as throttle cable  am i right once i have cleaned it will settle itself after a few miles and dont need to set it up . I have scanned car for faults no faults stored as car seems to judder very slight when driving at low speeds when letting off throttle only does it know and then  and some times feels to hold back very slightly when opening throttle .

Cleaned mine last week easy job and settled straight away no problems and cured my idleing problem.as for the juddering might be ignition amp maybe.id just clean it anyway cant hurt for the sake of half hours time and a bit of carb cleaner.then run it for a week and see how it is :smiley:

done about 8 miles and seems when you come to a stop and you press clutch down  it will rev about 1.300 rpm and slowly drop down to normal 800rpm its the AGU engine with cable
