How often does Audi Q5 throttle clean?

Generally, the Audi Q5 valve should be cleaned once after driving for about 20-30 thousand kilometers. If it is not very dirty, you can use the method of cleaning with detergent without removing the throttle. But if the throttle valve is removed and cleaned, it will be cleaner and neater. The following are the specific cleaning steps:

1. Find the position of the throttle and connect it directly to the air filter behind the air inlet;

2. Remove the hose connecting 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 throttle cleaner or carburetor cleaner, spray it on the throttle until the carbon deposit is completely dissolved by organic solvent, and dry it after 1-2 minutes.

In addition, there is a cleaning method without removing the throttle. As long as the engine is running, the cleaning agent can be directly injected into the throttle. The practice of many 4S shops and after-sales service centers is to spray cleaning agent into the throttle while stepping on it to the end. At this time, the vehicle will emit white smoke, mainly because the cleaned stains are strongly ignited by the suction cylinder and then discharged. This cleaning method is very harmful to the car. It is generally recommended to remove the throttle for better cleaning, which is healthier for the car.
