In this video, see where the throttle body is located on an Audi A6 and how to proceed if you need to remove it. As shown, it is located on the left side of the engine bay, just behind the headlight, positioned about halfway down the intake manifold.

To remove it, first take off the engine cover, then temporarily remove the oil dipstick to access the lower bolt.

Once this bolt is removed, proceed with the second bolt and loosen the screw from the opposite metal clamp. At this point, you can disconnect the connector and proceed with the installation of the replacement part if needed.
