audi b8 2.0 tdi - throttle body - clean or replace?

[mikiesb]

Hi

my car is driving fine - touchwood - no loss of power.

however my engine management light has flashed up - ran diags cleared everything and it reappeared - throttle body is the problem.

is there any point in running some kind of cleaner through the fuel tank?

or is there any point in paying someone to take it off and clean the part?

or... is it a simple case of it's knackered and replace it?

car has done 160,000 on 2008 reg but well maintained.

Thanks everyone.

Hi

any ideas anyone?

how long to take throttle body off and clean manually? - is there any point ? or just replace.

Could I take the throttle body off myself (ok ish with extremely basic tasks but not a mechanic).

Thanks again.
