Re greasing Throttle body

[mantis946]

Hiya, Going to be cleaning out the intake tonight on the ph1 and was wondering what people use to re-grease the TB and spring ?

Anybody got experience with either of these ?

Well popped it off and noticed it was already fairly clean, just give it a wipe down and a lube, did notice this though when taking it off:



New gasket time ?

Anybody know if f0xy's DB is correct with the part number ?

Well started her up after work today and confirmed there is an air leak where the gasket has let go, so off to Renault's part desk I go !

Hopefully this has a really simple answer, is there anything that breaks down this gasket stuff, it's bonded itself fairly well to the TB and plenum >.<

razor blade and scrape it off

Cheer's Fred, although i'm not too handy with sharp object's - last adventure ended up in A&E :rasp:

Nothing off the shelf that will break it down i'm guessing
