clean the throttle body , refit etc and make sure car has no fault codes stored before you do a adaption and as you have a 51 you will have drive by wire so reset body . does your dad have a scanner/code reader ?

right this is how i done mine -
1 , check for fault codes first with scan tool as you might find another or different problem/fault . mine has code p1297 turbo/throttle housing pressure loss so i cleared code .
2, remove and clean throttle body as shown in pics in the previous posts and refit it
3, use a snap-on , vag com , reflex etc etc scan tool . i use snap-on , plug in set up and go to functional tests in menu and go to adaption . click yes and the throttle adaption will start which the scanner will open and close the throttle butterfly approx 8 times and reset all its values .
4, start car , job done

if your dad goes to a garage i would imagine they use snap on as most do , colour graphing , solus , modis etc all do the same
