Cleaning the throttle body on Smart 450 cars

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Throttle body

Loosen the two clamps relative to the suction pipe, then remove it and clean it inside with a rag. To disassemble the throttle body, the operation is quite simple: unscrew the four bolts that secure it and then disconnect the connector by pushing on the two side tabs. Already done! Obviously, different oil will come out of the body. Spray the grease-dissolving spray inside, let it act for several minutes and then clean it. Also clean the area where the body was mounted and make sure that nothing enters the space left free by the throttle body itself.
