IMPORTANT! - NEED A GUIDE ASAP

[mylesfreeman]

hi guys

iv had the normal juddering and electric fault light and i am going to remove the little black box that apparently cuts the wires at the back of the engine and clean the throttle body.

iv looked on youtube and found a video on how to do it but am reluctant to take the entire manifold off to get to the throttle body.

has anyone got any experience in this area and can offer any solutions?

thanks

What car is this? you dont have to take the whole inlet off to clean the TB?

 

[mylesfreeman]

Renault Clio PH2 1.2 16V

im hoping i dont have to

 

[Harbinger]

No the TB is attached to the Inlet, will come straight off, on a 182 and other cars it doesnt either as it's the start of the inlet.

Pretty basic job would you say?

A nutless retarded one armed monkey can do it whilst drinking beer and smoking ///Megaskunk, it's easy, air filter pipe off the TB, few Torx Screws generally a T20, throttle body will be a few bolts or Torx screws, lift off, Clean, reverse.

Its not like this, read the guide etc, that is for sports etc.


I've done about 10 throttle body cleans on 1.2's, normally cleaning it all out and replacing, or just cleaning the map sensor helps laods too.
Its not hard, just keep bits in the right place and dont forget where stuff goes.

Started taking everything apart and realised I need to buy to some more tools as someone has been on the pinch! Plus there's another storm coming!

Watch this space
