To replace the throttle body on a Volkswagen Passat, open the bonnet to access the engine bay. The throttle body is located immediately next to the dipstick for checking the oil level. Remove the part by loosening the appropriate bolts that secure it using a hex spanner.

After removing the bolts, disconnect the connectors and pull the part from its housing. Once removed, replace it with a new part, which should be connected to the connectors and secured with the appropriate bolts.
