Updates:
Do not open the TB butterfly using ur finger because it might spoil ur TB as suggested by huakenny.
Tools:
1.Brush&Cup
2.Petrol
3.Size 8 socket to open throttle body
4.Size 10 spanner to open battery.
5.Philip screw driver
6.Pliers
Fist step open negative terminal battery using size 10 spanner.
Since Rafale said reset the FC meter ,so there is no need to open the battery on next time cleaning the throttle body and being advised by izso if have piggy back or standalone, no need open battery..
Secondly open the engine cover using size 8 socket.
As you can see, there is 4 bolt size 8 to open...:
Thirdly open the 2 bolt on intake hose using Philip screw driver and put aside,as circle:
Then take out the wiring socket connected to throttle body(be careful don't break the socket clip)..
Take out the hose connecting to the TB also..
Then, using socket end spanner size 8, loosen the 4 bolt and don't drop the TB.
After take out the TB, wipe inside the intake manifold using clean cloth..Don't use tissue because might tear off and drop inside the intake..
From the side of the TB got plastic covers, i didn't take it out and clean because scared shit happen. Below pic i take from some website --> mybenz | mysatisfaction - Forum
Clean the TB using brush and petrol...
After clean the throttle body fix back ,,reverse back the method u take it out..
Make sure all were tighten properly..
Tighten the TB using X method so that it is balance and don't overtightened it..
Then go out test..i get 12L/100km at first, then it keep dropping..when idle it go up back..
This is the mileage i get last week after clean the TB and means that this is the second time i clean after last week because someone in lowyat request me the steps..
Updates:
