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

Thanks for any quick replys as i want to put this back together again but want to make sure its all done right

Craig

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

thanks mate all clear now and back together with i might add no left over bits lol

Craig

Whats the idle like on it now?

Any sign of the possible missfire now?

to be truthfull its about the same may be alittle better oh well at least i know its been done :)

pain in the arse is i think i have found the driving vibration problem i am going to post a thread about it

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
Craig

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 :)

Cough Cough torque the bolts ermm nope i dont have a torque wrench oopps. But i can get hold of one next week so ill use one then, went out to my local vuaxhall dealer to get a gasget for the throttle body since i never used a Torque wrench.

What is the Torque setting for the bolts on the throttle body ?

I popped in to see the mechnics to ask about my small knock on the steering the reply was I dont have a clue mate is cud be anything. lol so helpfull i could not believe it oh well.

Craig

Torque/torx

You are as confused as us

Torx are those funny star headed bolts

And we all know what torque is

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