Any of you guys ever clean the throttle body?

I did search and found some info on people who have done it on the 2.7T

Removed my Throttle body and cleaned it

Any info appreciated. .

when i cleaned my gf's passat one, I went to autozone/ pepboys and bought some cleaner, named "throttle body cleaner" go figure? haha

just spray and clean, and was good to go.

I read the link, but it doesn't say exactly what benefits there are to doing this. More power, better response, fuel economy, all of the above.

That can make a difference if dirty. IIRC, spraying electronics cleaner on to the MAF "probe" was how I cleaned my previous one, but is there a different/updated process?
