How often should the throttle of Trumpchi GS4 be cleaned?
2 Answers
It is reasonable to clean the throttle of Trumpchi GS4 every 10,000 kilometers. When cleaning the throttle, it does not need to be disassembled, but the sealing parts of the intake must be cleaned thoroughly. The idle speed motor must be removed to be cleaned properly. There are pros and cons to both disassembling and non-disassembling methods for cleaning the fuel injector. Generally, maintenance stations recommend non-disassembling cleaning to avoid other unnecessary waste. If disassembled, the sealing rings or other gaskets may need to be replaced, or oil and air leaks may occur during the disassembly and assembly process, which could waste the owner's time. The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which participates in combustion to generate power. The body dimensions of the Trumpchi GS4 are 4545mm in length, 1856mm in width, and 1668mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm.
I've been driving the Trumpchi GS4 for several years, and based on my experience, throttle body cleaning is recommended approximately every 40,000 kilometers. In city traffic with frequent congestion, the engine is prone to carbon buildup. Cleaning the throttle body can prevent issues like unstable idling and increased fuel consumption. During routine maintenance, I make it a habit to check the engine's condition. If there's difficulty starting or sluggish acceleration, I'll get it cleaned earlier. Don't underestimate this small task—it affects the car's performance and lifespan. A friend of mine neglected it and ended up spending unnecessary money on repairs. The Trumpchi GS4 is one of the best among family cars, durable but not something to take lightly. Regular maintenance saves both hassle and money. I suggest adjusting the interval based on driving habits—if you often drive on highways or in good road conditions, you can extend the interval, but it's best not to exceed 60,000 kilometers.
