@@screwsnutsandbolts your very welcome! Channel is awesome. Could I just check that u don’t need to remove negative battery terminal, or both battery terminals (positive and negative) prior to removal. I don’t have VAG software, and I’m pretty sure your supposed to need to do a throttle body alignment after this, otherwise you get a check engine light no? Any help appreciated!

[@BabillonCaffe]

You do not have to calibrate it?

Hello.. Do I have to recoding the throttle Body after refitting by the computer?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

With certain cars the throttle body needs to be adapted after cleaning using a scan tool: www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Volkswagen_Golf_GTI_Mk_V/43-FUEL-Throttle_Body_Cleaning_Replacement/43-FUEL-Throttle_Body_Cleaning_Replacement.htm

Hi,is this the same for the 1.4 tsi? Thanks

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I'm not sure if the Tsi throttle body is the exact same but it's probably quite similar

[@dougiegraham662]

Thanks for the reply ​@@screwsnutsandbolts

[@dougiegraham662]
