How often does Audi A6L throttle have to be cleaned?

Audi A6L accelerator is cleaned every 20,000-30,000 kilometers. If the throttle is not particularly dirty, the cleaning method can be directly cleaned with cleaning agent without disassembling the throttle. However, it can be cleaner to remove the throttle valve for cleaning. The specific cleaning steps are as follows:

1. Find the throttle valve, which is behind the air inlet and connected to the air filter;

2. Remove the connecting hose between the throttle valve and the air cleaner first, and then remove the air cleaner assembly;

3. Then remove the throttle cable, unscrew the fixing bolt and remove the throttle;

4. Use special cleaning agent or carburetor cleaning agent, spray it on the throttle, wait for the organic solvent to dissolve the carbon deposit, wait for 1-2 minutes and then dry it.

Not only that, there is also a cleaning method without removing the throttle. When the engine is running, the cleaning agent is directly injected into the throttle. The practice of many 4S shops and after-sales service centers is to slam on the accelerator while injecting cleaning agent into the accelerator. At this time, the car will emit white smoke because the cleaned stains are strongly ignited by the suction cylinder and then discharged. This cleaning method is very harmful to the car, so the disassembly cleaning method is more harmful and beneficial to the car.
