Title: throttel body cleaning

If its a cable throttle then no, it will sort itself out after a little drive. If not then you may have to set it by vag.com but then I've seen people on here who say they didn't need to set it?! :whistle:

Is there a stickie for this?

Been thinking of doing this myself and painting it while it was off.
