How to Remove the Throttle Body from an Audi A3?

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013

To replace the throttle body on an Audi A3, open the bonnet to access the engine bay. Using a flathead screwdriver, lever the lower part of the component to detach the connected pipe and then pull it downwards. Next, using 5 mm and 6 mm hex keys, loosen all the bolts securing the component and disconnect its connectors. Once the throttle body is free, it can be extracted and replaced.
