Thanks for the video! My 2016 Passat is stumbling at idle and I've been searching for a fix. Just ordered a VCDS cable from Rosstech and I'm going to replace plugs and coils and do a full throttle body cleaning and adaptation. Your video is really going to help getting the throttle off and back on again.
@@eviemcneil6691 no. But I know the most likely issue is that the intake valves are caked up with carbon and need to be thoroughly cleaned. I have not verified it yet but I’m slowly stacking up the funds to have it professionally walnut blasted. I ran a couple cans of Liqui Moly DIjectron injector cleaner for GDI engines and it seemed to help a little bit. I don’t notice it as much as I used to and it’s not shaking as hard either. The CEL for cylinder 3 misfires is still present though.
Use throttle valve cleaner or carb cleaner so never use break cleaner because any residue left will end up in your engine & could cause problems so be careful with that. Otherwise it is a good video.
Great video, thanks! Couple of questions: 1) I've been told not to move the actual flap/valve, but it seems pretty free moving here. Am I missing something? 2) What cleaner did you use and did you soak it or spray and scrub? Was the cleaner suitable for the rubber gasket?
Great video very clear description, what difference does turning the pipe unit from the egr make by turning it into the inlet manifold instead of it pointing it forward into the throttle flap. The egr has been deleted so could the pipe be blanked off? Thanks
I have a 2004 VW beetle tdi. I pulled a code of P2108 could the throttle cleaning possible fix my problem. I also here a high pitch whistling noise when I accelerate. Thanks,
If you move the flap to clean it when the power is disconnected can you damage it? Do you have to recalibrate it with dignostic equipment after cleaning?
