Yes, generally I am of the same opinion. But I’m thinking preventative maintenance as I’m sure you are aware of how cruddy TB’s can get. It looks to be an easy removal procedure and “might” prevent a tight spot further down the line. Decisions decisions🤔😂

Don’t you pay extra on insurance for “grey imports” also grey imports are generally less desirable on the used market also, I remeber hearing there is littllebor no underbody rust protection on japanese imports. Not the end of the world I suppose as this could be added here but something to consider. all this of course might have changed in recent years and if you plan on keeping the car a good few years less of an issue I suppose 🤔

To another Audi? Intrigued why you would want to do this when there are so many uk cars available ?

Clean throttle body as part of routine maintenence? engine runs fine apart from slight hesitation on take off in first. No fault codes. due to carry out oil and filter sservice within h next couple of weeks. looked at couple of videos on YouTube and removal of TB appears to be straight forward. im tempted to remove and clean both sides of butterfly and replace gasket. What you reckon, if it ain’t broken don’t fix it or remove and clean ?

Modern motoring .. what a palava. anybody remeber the days you could swan in to your local auto spares outlet.. choose from 3 batteries for less than £50 and swap it out in the car park 😁

Hi, on first viewing my 1.4 tfsi, I noticed the same issue you are experiencing… no warm air from blowers. Turned out to be the heater matrix. From new, Audi fit some kind gel bag in the system which over time breaks down and clogs up the matrix. Mine was sorted before purchase but I believe it’s quite an involved job.

Thanks Steve 👍

That a certain thread has new replys?

Might be worth a try to cross reference to other makes with the same engine? VW, Skoda ?

Fantastic news Mr. G and thanks for returning to update your thread. shoutout for the garage is in order I think 👍 -
I have an ongoing “issue” with bulb warning. If I notch the light switch from off to headlights on in one sweep the bulb warning will show up. if I switch incrementally then the warning light does not illuminate. Note, no bulbs are out even when the warning is illuminated. No real issue for me as long as I remember to switch incrementally.

nightmare! Kerp us posted if you ever find a solution🤔 -
Funny, how we (myself included) still refer to them as wing mirrors when its 30 odd years since they were positioned on the wing

Fun fact! In times gone by, “Wing mirrors” were actually positioned on the wing! Strange but true
