Throttle Body - to clean or not to clean?

Followers

18 April, 200818 yr

Inspired by all the TB threads on here I had a look at at TB on the missus 2001 1.4 Fabia MPI - 66,000 miles - last night. Without removing it, the air filter side was incredibly clean. However, it was impossible to see behind the butterfly valve which didn't open much even revving the engine. Now, the engine side could be filthy for all I know & accounting for uneven RPM at idle (but not too bad). Based on this, anyone who has done this reckong it is worth removing the unit for cleaning (as I will have to commit to new gasket/VAG COM to reset) etc?

Fabia VRS LE Register Part Trois As there is supposed to be only 1000 of these I think we should be able to manage a register of Briskoda Members cars here. Can we please keep general chat and even SE chat off this thread and keep it solely as a register, if you want to discuss the SE please start a new thread or do so in an existing thread such as VRS SE Prices. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

thamestrader · 7 June7 Jun

There have been a number of posts in the Facebook Skoda Karoq Owners Group recently related to the appearance on the infotainment screen when starting the car of a message about Data Tracking. I too have had this but it has now stopped. Then a new longer message referring to EU data protection and sharing - that was the gist I think as I didn’t take a photo and it’s no longer being displayed. I think I may have “OK d” both messages and that perhaps stopped them being displayed. Any way leading o

Adding this for anyone that comes across the same issue. Noticed a slightly extended crank a day or so ago, along with a few seconds worth of poor idle and then ran as normal. Checked for codes, and none showing. Checked plugs when I got home again and all ok. Checked the lpfp count and was at or around 50% at idle. No hesitation or misfires and none detected on scanner. Rail holding pressure within parameters and both lpfp and hpfp showing requested and actual pressures where they should b

Air conditioner not working

Lordegor · 1 hour ago1 hr

Hello, recently my air conditionor kinda stopped working. In the morning or in the evening everything works just fine, normal operation. In the middle of the day, being hot outside (30 to even over 40 degrees outside temperature), when i start the car, for 10-20 seconds everything works, after that a noise like a buzz starts to hear from around the middle of the car. While this sound is generated, the ventilation system still blows but very poor power. After another 20-30 seconds the sound sto

Climatronic fan not working - Octavia Mk2 2006

eddie2 · 1 hour ago1 hr

The fan for air conditioning and heater on my 2006 Octavia Mk2 L&K is not working. I have checked the fuses and they are OK. Does it have a relay that might have failed? I am hoping it is not the fan unit itself, as this seems to be peculiar to RHD models with climatronic and was discontinued by Skoda in 2022. (Part no. 1K2 820 021).
