You should probably try clean it first and check for vacuum leaks also scan the car and try recalibrate it first before you spend the money.

You can also visually inspect your throttle body. I’m currently getting 15-16MPG street and 20-24MPG hwy w/ my throttle body looking like this. 157,000mi worth of buildup. Typical or worth removing throttle body to clean?



Other than cold start misfires (possible head gasket failure) car idles and accelerates smoothly after 10 second cold start.

Been thinking about removing throttle body to clean it properly. However, the throttle body adaptation is what’s been holding me back.

according to VCDS it adjusts pedal position and angle of the throttle valve.

Nice DIY! Since I only have VCDS-lite, I tried the poor man’s way to do throttle body adaptation but didn’t hear anything adjusting by throttle body.
