Throttle Body Alignment

[Havok316]

Hi i just need a quick reminder as i forgotten but how do you align the throttle body? Is it turn your ignition to full and leave it 20 minutes?

 

[David_smith_909]

you can do it via vagcom, but if you havnt got it

unplug your battery, leave for 20-30mins, plug back in, turn ignition on (not engine) and wait for noise to stop (the noise is your tb realigning iv been told)

iv heard a few rumours that this doesnt actually do a tba, how true this is i dont know, they might "just" be rumours

Turn the key on but do not start the car.

[Select]
[01 - Engine]
[Measuring Blocks - 08]
Group 060
[Go!]
[Switch to basic settings]
Once you do this you will see the top right display say ADP RUN. The TB adaptation is being done as soon as you switch to basic settings. You will see the values change and hear the TB cycle for the first few seconds then it will stop. Leave it in Basic Settings for about 30 seconds.
[Switch to Meas. Blocks] button and you're all set.

Be sure not to touch the accelerator and make sure the engine is NOT running when you do this!

I also read something about having the doors open to do the tba...

 

[PhilW]

The door is normally open anyway, but i dont think thats got anything to do with it.
