Help finding throttle body on Peugeot 207 1.4 petrol 08 plat

[Stephen2407]

Hi so as the title says I'm trying to locate my throttle body so so I can clean it and yes I do have actual throttle body cleaner. It's a 207 1.4 petrol. I've tried searching online but coudnt find any information anywhere. I've had a go at finding it but i can't find it anywhere. I am a novice at cars btw! I'll leave a photo of my engine below

I would really apreciate it if someone can help me locate it!!! Thank you

That corrugated plastic pipe running fore / aft between the engine and the battery box is the air intake, follow that back and the throttle body will be along there somewhere.

It’s probably bolted to the underside of the intake manifold and inaccessible without quite a lot of disassembly.

Why?

That heat shield at the front of the engine covers the exhaust manifold - the intake manifold will be in the corresponding position at the pack of the engine and that corrugated intake pipe you see will connect to it at the throttle body. Since it is not in sight at the top of the engine, the throttle may be under the intake manifold and might be best accessed from underneath. But it looks like you might need to do quite a lot of dismantling to get at it. Which takes you back to the question - why do you want to clean it?

Thank you for your reply, I was afraid it was right underneath though I wasn't too sure. I want to clean it because I have a rough idle and loss of power sometime so I want to give it a clean just in case it is filthy and sticking

It seems pretty unlikely that a dirty throttle body would cause either of those symptoms. I suggest you get the problem diagnosed methodically rather than try to guess at possible causes. You're unlikely to fix the problem by guesswork, and risk making things worse due to 'maintenance induced failure'.

Like that one, will use that again.
