Video tutorial

In this video, see how to clean the throttle body on an Opel Corsa B: start by removing the air filter, as the throttle body is located just behind it, allowing you to work more comfortably. The YouTuber uses a regular household degreaser, which he advises against as it is water-based: you should use alcohol-based products instead.

The method is still valid, using an old toothbrush to clean the component, then let the product evaporate with the engine running. Follow with the step-by-step cleaning of the stepper motor, using the same method.

Naturally, clean the area where it is housed as well.
