throttle body gasket replacement
Posted: Sun Aug 08, 2021 4:05 pm
car at 157,000Km I decided to replace TB gasket.
according to the service manual if you remove TB from intake manifold you need to replace the TB gasket.
the part number for that gasket is 13421-57L10-000 I bought it from megazip.
to do that first remove the upper air box and resonators and hoses then 4 bolts for TB after that I put TB aside to access TB gasket without disconnecting cooling lines. then replace gasket.
install just in reverse bolts need to hand tight then torqued to 12Nm.
also, I cleaned TB with an injector cleaner. that's it
