How to clean the throttle body of the Opel Corsa B

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa B - Years 1993-2000
Part: Throttle body

In this video we can see how to clean the throttle body of the Opel Corsa version B: we start by removing the air filter, since the throttle body is right behind it, so we can work on it more easily. The youtuber uses a normal household degreaser, which he himself advises against as it is water-based: evidently we should use alcohol-based products. The system is still valid, using an old toothbrush to clean the component, then we let the engine breathe with the product on. Next is the cleaning of the idle control valve, using the same system. Of course, we will also clean the compartment where it is housed.
