1 Answers
Audi Q3 throttle is generally cleaned after 50,000 kilometers, but it also depends on the condition of the engine. If the engine idles normally without shaking, cleaning may not be necessary. The cleaning method for the car throttle: First, turn off the ignition switch and remove the negative terminal of the battery. Then, remove the throttle cable, intake hose, and the screws fixing the throttle. Finally, clean the throttle with carburetor cleaner. As one of the most important components of a car, not cleaning the throttle for a long time can lead to errors in the throttle opening degree, and impurities and air may enter the engine combustion chamber. Both of these outcomes can cause abnormal engine operation, and in severe cases, may result in difficulty starting the engine and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, regular cleaning of the throttle can effectively protect its normal operation. The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to perform work. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, and is known as the throat of the car engine. The stability of the car's idle speed and the flexibility of acceleration are closely related to the cleanliness of the throttle.
