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. The new part must be secured with the bolts and connected to the relevant pipes and connectors.
