How often does Roewe i5 throttle have to be cleaned?

Roewe i5 accelerator is cleaned every 20,000-30,000 kilometers. If it is not too dirty, you can clean the throttle directly with cleaning agent without removing the throttle. However, removing the throttle valve for cleaning will make it cleaner and tidy. The following are the specific cleaning steps:

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

2. Remove the hose connecting the throttle and the air filter first, and then remove the assembly of the air filter;

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

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

In addition, there is a cleaning method without disassembling the throttle, which only needs to spray the cleaning agent directly into the throttle when the engine is running. The practice of most 4S stores and after-sales service centers is to slam on the accelerator and spray 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 kind of cleaning method is very harmful to the car. Generally, it will be better to disassemble and clean, and it will not cause too much damage to the car.
