There is a lovely guide in the guides section.

Theres only one mate and the bit of hose that comes from the airbox connects to it.

You'll have to remove the airbox to remove the hose i think, cant remember how hard it was to disconnect the hose from the throttle body.

The throttle body should just be held on by some bolts, remove them to free the throttle body. But check it before removing. If it has never had an induction kit on then i doubt it would need cleaning.

Once the throttle body is removed, use WD40 and a wrag to clean it.

It's at the back, near the boot iirc.

Firstly, you need a can of common sense. Then you need to undo the giggle pin, and clean with a rag and some methoLOLated spirits, or petrLOL, or simiLOL.

Throttle bodies as in plural, or just the standard one?

Typical cliosport fashion, shoot new members down because they come to the site with the 'dilusion' that a car club ( term used lightly ) can offer help.

It may be a stupid question to the CS regulars, or as they're known lifeless geeks who spend their weekends spraying diamonds and sharking online, but this poor chap has popped on here and his first impressions is of some knob shooting him down. There goes your subscriptions and another would be dedicated member.

Lol indeed....

^^ I agree, anymore and it'll be points.

To the op, as Tom has said do you have ITB's or just a normal plenum set up with one throttle body?
