Here is my recall doc.

 

In Preparation for tranny service.

File from ZF

 

Since this is a rich thread on general D5 maintenance, I thought I'd ask here;
would it be worthwhile cleaning/de-greasing the throttle body [LR078546], as part of maintenance?


removal & install seems easy enough. thoughts??

 

This is a job I am planning on doing. I think it will be beneficial.

Of course, if you tackle it first, take pics and give us your feedback.

I'm at least three weeks out to do it.

This weekend Evoque tranny and diffs..... My VW is at my gurus for clutch kit.... Next weekend is Spring Safari Uwharrie NC.......9-12th

 

Any chance you'd have torque specs on the throttle body bolts? I can give it a shot but I don't want to over-tighten things on re-assembly.

I'm still debating if I should remove the butterfly valve motor and submerge the remaining composite part in a detergent/oven cleaner mix of some kind vs. clean the whole assembly with a toothbrush + brake cleaner (avoiding motor disassembly + re-adaptation).

 

Toothbrush and carb cleaner is what I use on my LR3 and my friends Roo.
I'll have to try and find torque spec.... In the meantime my guess is 6 to 8 Nm
