Audi Q5 needs to have the throttle body removed for cleaning. Throttle body cleaning for Audi: Is it better to remove it for cleaning or can it be cleaned without removal: Removing the throttle body for cleaning results in a more thorough cleaning compared to non-removal cleaning. However, this difference does not significantly impact the vehicle. Additionally, some vehicle models do not support non-removal throttle body cleaning and require removal for cleaning. Setting the throttle body: The system cannot be reset. It is generally recommended to clean the throttle body every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, with some cases requiring cleaning at 20,000 kilometers. If the vehicle operates in a highly polluted environment (mainly referring to inhalable particulate matter), impurities can quickly accumulate on the throttle body. Over time, this can affect the engine's air intake, necessitating cleaning.
