How to properly clean the throttle body of the Kia Picanto

Model: Kia Picanto TA, MK 2 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Throttle body

In this video, we can see how to properly clean the throttle body of the Kia Picanto: we open the hood and remove the air filter cover, taking the opportunity to replace it. This way, we will have created space to access the throttle body, which is located right underneath and is easily accessible. We open the throttle and clean the inside with a microfiber cloth sprayed with a specific detergent. We can use a metal clamp to make this task easier. In the video, we can see the dirt that accumulates inside the throttle body. This will improve the vehicle's drivability and prevent bigger problems in the future.
