Cleaning Throttle Body
Tech,
I saw on here awhile back that you were explaining to someone how to take the throttle body off and clean it. I have a 1999 S80 T6, I know that I will need a gasket, but can you tell where and how to get to the throttle body for cleaning. Thanks in advance. |

Follow the instructions in the link.

RE: Cleaning Throttle Body
Thanks Tech, I will try this probably this weekend. If I have any more questions, I will let you know.

OK sounds good.

Tech,
I was able to get the throttle body off and cleaned but that didnt seem to fix my problem. So after a trip to the dealership and $900.00 later, I hopefully have no more problems. It still ended up being the throttle body, but it was something that cleaning couldnt help. Thanks again for your help. |
RE: Cleaning Throttle Body
What was the original problem? |
RE: Cleaning Throttle Body
familyman, I was having a problem with it idleing right. Some time while stopping, the car would idle down too low and cut off. If I sat in gear at idle, it would flucuate between about 700 & 1500 RPM at idle then sometimes cut off.

Glad it's fixed.
I have a 2000 T6 and bought it with 100K. I had to have the "O" rings done, $800 but that's it. Mine will sometimes feel like it's throttle is not rock solid. It's hard to describe but when around 2000 rpm and not accelerating but just moving a long slowly it feels it's not staying at a constant rpm, likes it's soupy or sloppy. I told you hard to describe. I figure it's just a characteristic of the T6 ETM and turbo's. The car runs great and I like it. |

RE: Cleaning Throttle Body
Between the kids and work I just don't have time to do this myself, so when I ask the dealership about cleaning the ETM they aren't going to give this blank stare, like what are you talking about.

RE: Cleaning Throttle Body
They should know exactly what you are talking about.
