How often does the Audi Q3 throttle have to be cleaned?

Audi Q3 throttle is cleaned every 20,000-30,000 kilometers. If the throttle is not particularly dirty, it can be cleaned directly with cleaning agent without removing the throttle. Just, remove the throttle and clean it, and it will be much cleaner. The following are the specific cleaning steps:

1, first find the position of the throttle valve, which is behind the air inlet and connected to the air filter;

2. Remove the connecting hose between the throttle valve and the air filter first, and then remove the assembly of the air filter;

3. Then, remove the throttle cable, unscrew the fixing bolt and remove the throttle;

4. Use special cleaning agent or carburetor cleaning agent, spray it on the throttle, and dry it after 1-2 minutes.

In addition, there is a way to clean the throttle valve without disassembly. When the engine is running, the cleaning agent is directly injected into the throttle. The practice of many 4S shops and after-sales service centers is to blow the throttle while spraying cleaning agent into the throttle. At this time, there will be white smoke in the vehicle because the cleaned stains are strongly ignited by the suction cylinder and discharged. This cleaning method is very harmful to the car, so the disassembly cleaning method is more beneficial and beneficial to the car.
