C1/107/Aygo 1.0 Petrol Throttle body, MAP sensor and PCV cleaning

It’s really good preventative maintenance

[@carlosbambos]

I'll definitely be doing this. Plus I'm changing the coil packs, sparks and oil and oil filter. Can't wait to see if there's a difference in performance. Fully expecting tesla-like acceleration.

[@DABDIY]

It’ll certainly make a difference! If you’re changing coil packs, consider visiting TSA Performance and get some of their upgraded coil packs.

Hi there and a big thanks done all the above on my daughter's car today, and being a waste of time around cars this is a bit of a big thing for me, i understand that there are people that can do this with there eyes closed but not me, so done step by step in the vid and got it all done, your Throttle body was really clean when i took a look at my daughter's it was black everywhere, and from the first turn of the key the car does not sound half as ticky or as loud got to wait for my daughter to take the car out but a big thanks for your help in keeping the car running tidy also for keeping some money in my pocket instead of the garage.

[@DABDIY]

I really do love it when I get feedback like this. Thank you Daz, I am really glad that it helped you save a bit of money and have fun with the tools in the process. I was surprised at how clean my throttle body was, especially after doing the same thing to my friend’s 107. They do run a little happier once everything has had a good clean.

You’d be surprised how cheaply you can pick a set of alloys up for these things. I found some on eBay local to me for £60. The auction was at £40, I offered £100 to pick them up the same day, the seller said he wants to let the auction run and I won them for £60 😅

[@marcocamarlinghi2244]

Good video, also what is the purpose of the small air hole? (The one pointed with the screwdriver at 10:53)

[@DABDIY]

That’s the vent case breather. It recirculates air from the crank case back through the air intake system to be re-combusted.

Some people have upgraded, but I haven’t because I’m going to turbo instead. Whatever it is you go for, please remember that this is based on a Toyota platform, so Peugeot and Citroen parts may not fit.

Hey, excellent content and easy to follow instructions. Just a quick question, is there any way to view the MPG on the vehicle. I have a 2008 automatic Aygo and i cant figure out how to get the little display next to the speedometer to view live MPG figures.

[@DABDIY]

There is no way from the factory to view MPG figures. Personally, I use full yak and mileage figures and do the maths myself, but I heard you can get an OBDII device to show things like MPG, temperatures etc.

Hi there, when trying to remove the front bolt that holds the throttle body I think it snapped. It just keeps spinning but won’t come out. Do you think there’s anything I can do?

[@DABDIY]

The threaded insert has most likely come loose from inside the intake. Worst case scenario, you’ll need a new intake. Best case, see if you can hold it with a pair of pliers as you undo the bolt

[@valleysman1234]

Hi dave done the pcv but finding it a bit hard to get to the map sensor with the throttle body on there, would you clean the map sensor and is it as straight forward to take the Throttle body of as you show in the vid because i might give that a go to get to the map sensor thanks for your help ps not the best around cars that is why i am asking the above thanks.

[@DABDIY]

It really is as simple as the video shows it. Three bolts holding the throttle body onto the engine, you dot necessarily even have to remove the throttle cable - it can be pushed to one side and given a quick clean in situ. Then it’s just two screws holding the MAP sensor in and an electrical cable.

[@DABDIY]

I’m glad you like the video! The PCV valve, positive crankcase ventilation valve, is responsible for venting the positive pressure generated within the engine when combustion takes place. It contains oil vapour and other such things like that in the expelled gasses, which are then fed back into the air intake for emissions purposes. I did a video on cleaning the Throttle Body Control Valve too. It’s in the Project C1 playlist.

[@itaiitai8960]

what to do for better pedal response ? i feel the best response is in 50km but 20-50 is lazy

[@DABDIY]

The only thing I could suggest is to take up the slack in the throttle cable.

Excellent, I’m glad you like it! To be honest, I didn’t even consider it until you mentioned it. By that time, I was half way though filming this video, which is why it watches like the PCV was an afterthought.

When should change the throttle body and due to what fault?

[@DABDIY]

The throttle body doesn’t really go wrong, I’d only change it on defect.

[@userbasba]

My Aygo 2007 throttle body doesn't have a throttle! I can only see the body. Why? Am I looking in the wrong place? Please advise. Thanks

[@DABDIY]

It definitely has a throttle. The throttle body houses the throttle, which is essentially a brass butterfly valve. When you put your foot down, the cable rotates the housing crank, which turns the butterfly valve, changing the fuel:air mixture.

[@userbasba]

@@DABDIY Thank you so much for your prompt reply, but I have to tell ya, I just couldn't see any throttle, throttle line or butterfly. I will try to make a little video of it, and upload it to my channel. It could be because it has a VSC system??? I don't know. I will notify you when the video is uploaded.
