Throttle body cleaning
« on: 19 June 2012, 12:32 »
Is there a guide for cleaning the throttle body on a 1.8 n/a mk4?

Kind of think its going to be a little different from the 1.8T and can't find any info on it :)

removal on the 1.8T is just the 4 long hex bolts from what I remember and the IC pipe jubilee
