throttle

Posted on other forums but not got much information. Just wondering if anyone has ground out their standard throttle body. The one on my AGU A3 has big lumps in it. Obviously they were put there for a reason but what will be the result of removing the lumps to remove the restriction??? Gavin

Been a lurker for some time, picking up stacks of v useful feedback, for which many thanks. Have now taken the plunge and bought an 02 v5 170 with 49k on the clock. Its got a FSH and appears to have been fairly well looked after, including a very recent service. Initial impressions after a...

I've been getting a few throttle related fault codes and bizarre goings on. Codes as follows: 18087 - Drive by wire - MIL circuit open 17976 - Throttle actuator(J336) mechanical Intermittant failure 17953 - Throttle Valve controller: malfunction. Last night while giving it some, the car...

Has anyone heard of this routine before: For 1.8T with DBW throttles: Ignition on, don't start car. Press Accelerator pedal fully to the floor for 5 second. Release Pedal, wait 5 seconds. Start Car. If such a routine does actually do anything, what is it? If it's related to...

has any one done a throttle body conversion yet on a 2.0 16v,is there a lot of work to been done

I drove a New Leon diesel yesterday and was surprised at how blipable the throttle was, ie. when you press the accelerator the revs rise instantly and when you lift off the revs drop instantly and can be done in a sequential fashion, eg vroom-vroom-vroom. When I do the same thing in my LCR...

:think: Asked a well known tuninig establishment if they could re-set my new throttle body. They said they could but if I asked on the Cupranet someone could tell me how to do it myself for free. Anyone out there with the answer please?

Hi there, I know this has been discussed on some other threads but could not find a proper throttle body cleaning guide etc. I want to clean my throttle body and was wandering what was really involved if I decided to take the whole throttle body off and cleaned it, I take it I would need...

is there enough room on the o.e. manifold to fit the r32 throttle body? and has anyone got a uk quote for one? going back to the first point, is there enough room to drill/tap the 4 mounting holes and fit the whole lot on? even if you have the hole centres , bill, i can work on it from there.....

The other day I decided to reset my throttle body- re align it. So i disconnected the batt for 10mins and reconnected it, when I went to turn the ignition on so it could realign it made a quiet buzzing sound- I guess its the bodys motor resetting- fine.. But it seems everytime I turn the...

I dont know too much about throttle bodies so please forgive my ignorance and correct me if im wrong about anything but whats the deal with using bike throttle bodies on cars? Ive done a bit of research and it seems a pretty common way of putting on throttle bodies cheaply and apparently many...

I tried to do a throttle body reset through vagcom his morning and vagcom is showing an error when it tries to start the reset. In the status box it is showing 'ERROR' A fault code scan throws up the following: Address 01: Engine Controller: 06A 906 032 HN Component: 1.8L R4/5VT...

peeps There is one area of my engine bay that really p*sses me off when it comes to cleaning my car - the throttle body..... (long bar bit that goes horizontal across the engine at the front lol ) Mine has a kind-of pitted/rough finish to it, and I can never get it clean when oil gets on...

Hey all, haven't posted in a while. I have a Cupra 4 VR6, but all cars have EGR and throttlebody nowadays. Dunno if any of you have ever cleaned your TB's. If you did look at these pictures you'll see how oily my TB is. Does it look normal to you? I always thought passing oily air back...

anyone know what this could be; sometimes, after say 30mins or so of driving or after being stationary for a long time (with engine running) if im flooring it about, and lift off, either to change gear or just lift off - the engine briefly carries on revving, like ive just put my foot on the...
