Video tutorial
To perform this operation, you will need a specific throttle body cleaner, such as LiquiMoly, which can be found on Amazon with the code B01MSW4I21 for £15.90, with free delivery. Inside the engine, locate the intake hose connected to the throttle body and remove it. Check the condition of the throttle body: the one in the video is very dirty, especially on the closing edge, which causes an irregular idle, loss of power, and increased fuel consumption. Spray the cleaner directly into the intake duct to dissolve carbon deposits, using small bursts and allowing the product to work for a few seconds. Then spray on the throttle plate and the internal walls; do not force the throttle if it is motorised. The spray, drawn into the engine, also cleans the intake valves and the lambda sensor. It is recommended to make light applications of the product. After cleaning, the engine may have an irregular idle for a few minutes, but this is normal: the system needs to adapt to the new parameters.

How to Remove the Toll Tag Holder from the Car Windscreen
The toll tag holder is usually attached to the car windscreen to ensure that the toll tag functions immediately when passing through barriers. However, if you decide to remove the holder, you should follow this procedure: - Insert the toll tag into the holder; - Pull the holder inwards to detach it from the windscreen; you can use a glass scraper or a stiff plastic card to assist you; After removing the holder, it is essential to remove the adhesive from the windscreen. To remove the adhesive, we recommend using a solvent-based spray that will remove the glue without clouding the area. by ScegliAuto More videos
