Should this hole in the throttle body be clear so that i can pass a small allen key ie 1mm through it its the one that is linked to the rocker breather
it has two hoses attached to the bottom of it Oh its a 2.0l 16v

Yeah thats the one that can get clogged, when clear should help to improve idle.
-

Craig

-

Man I am getting Pis*ed Off Took the Car out for a blast on the motorway and it feels like its lost power now even after all the cleaning.
Should I of used Gasget sealent when i reasembled the throttle bits the gasget seemed fine as you can see from the photo, will air leak if gasget sealent is not used Ie giving a power loss.
Thanks

Possibly did you change the gasket for new?
Check you have no air leaks in the air intake pipe, and make sure all breather pipe clips are tight.
-
nope i used the old one as it looked in very good nick. All the breather pipes should be fine and the air in take should be fine also. but ill have a look again tomorrow thanks nixoro you have been a real help.

Did you torque the bolts to the correct setting when refitting the throttlebody.
Always willing to help if I can :)

Torque/torx

The throttle body torque setting on the 2.0 is 9Nm should be the same for yours.
