How often does the Roewe i6 throttle have to be cleaned?

Roewe i6 throttle is cleaned every 20,000-30,000 kilometers. If the throttle is not very dirty, you can clean it directly with cleaning agent without removing the throttle. However, removing the throttle and cleaning it will be cleaner and neater. The following are the specific cleaning steps:

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

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

In addition, there is another way to clean the throttle valve without disassembly, which only needs to spray the cleaning agent directly into the throttle valve when the engine is running. The practice of many 4S shops and maintenance points is to inject cleaning agent into the accelerator while stepping on the accelerator to the bottom. At this time, there will be white smoke from the vehicle, 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 suggested that disassembly and cleaning will be better and less harmful to the car.
