Hi all. Just wondered can you reset the throttle body after a clean with vcds lite?

I don't think you can unless it is the registered version.

Yep think it needs to be registered to do a TBA.

How did you clean it with vcds lite? Whats next doing the dishes with microsoft works?

No need to perform VCDS throttle adaptation as the ECU will adapt it over a few driving cycles.

If it was left plugged in, no need to.

I just left mine plugged in, cleaned what I could then jammed the throttle open, switched on the ignition and cleaned the rest

Don't need to anyway. Just drive it.

If you have unplugged the TB to clean it, when you reinstall turn the ignition on & listen for a whistling sound coming from the TB it's important not to start the car until the whistle stops.

Ive got a throttle body in my spare room thats been done black ?

Will it just bolt on and do what my current one is doing ?

Yep, as long as they've not painted the inside of it!

You'll probably need a new gasket as well, they cost a couple of quid from the dealers

obviously follow the re-set procedure above as it needs to get used to the new throttle (your old one is probably a little gunked up I would've thought, so it will have got used to running with that)

Thanks for the comments guys. I will just leave it situ and clean as per the how 2.

I'll just let clive do it ...... Id only break it :(

Don't jam the butterfly flap open unless its cable operation. Forcing it open on DBW throttle will break it. Turn the ignition on & push the gas pedal fully down with something or somone. When you've finished cleaning turn ignition off reinstall the TB, & turn ignition back on untill TB stops whistling then start up as normal. The ECU will relearn & adapt the TB over a few driving cycles. If you have VCDS then you can do a TB adaptation which sorts things straight off.

Mines been on and off more times than i care to remember including when i cleaned it and never had a problem even when starting car straight up after doing it

I believe if you let the TB whistling stop before starting it helps the adaptation process. Sure I read that on vwVortex site a few years ago.
