Throttle Body Cleaner 100ml

Instant Carbon & Varnish Dissolution
Fast-acting solvent chemistry disintegrates carbon deposits, varnish build-up, gum residue, and hydrocarbon films on contact — eliminating the need for prolonged soaking or aggressive mechanical scrubbing in most service cases.
Instant Degreasing Action
Simultaneously cuts through oil and grease contamination inside the throttle bore and intake passages — removing the adhesive layer that causes carbon and particulate matter to bond to internal surfaces.
Oxygen Sensor Safe
Formulated to be safe for use in engine systems equipped with oxygen (lambda) sensors, catalytic converters, and modern emission control components — including BS6-compliant petrol and diesel engines. No sensor damage, no catalytic converter contamination.
Broad System Compatibility
Effective across the full range of air-fuel management and induction system components — throttle body assemblies, carburettors, auto chokes, EGR valves, fuel injectors, idle air control valves, and electronic drive-by-wire throttle systems.
Quick Application
Precision extension tube delivers solvent exactly where required — deep into throttle bores, injector ports, and EGR passages — reducing service time significantly compared to component removal and bench cleaning.
Restores Engine Performance & Efficiency
Clean induction components restore factory airflow characteristics, improve idle stability, sharpen throttle response, reduce fuel consumption, and lower exhaust emissions — measurable performance and efficiency gains from a single cleaning service.

This procedure involves working near engine components. Ensure the engine is cool before beginning. Work in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate eye and skin protection. 

1. Allow the engine to cool completely before beginning. Disconnect the battery negative terminal as a precaution on electronic drive-by-wire systems. 2. Locate and remove the air intake hose connected to the throttle body inlet — loosen the hose clamp and pull the hose free carefully.
3.  Remove the air duct or air filter housing connected to the throttle body to fully expose the throttle plate and bore interior. 
4. Shake the can thoroughly before use to activate the solvent blend. Attach the precision extension tube to the nozzle.
5.  With the throttle plate held open — manually or with a throttle opener tool — spray Throttle Body & Intake Cleaner evenly across the entire inner surface of the throttle bore, throttle plate, and surrounding walls. Ensure full coverage. 
6. Allow the solvent 30–60 seconds to penetrate and dissolve carbon deposits and varnish. 
7. For moderate to heavy carbon build-up, scrub the throttle plate and bore walls gently with a soft-bristle brush to loosen compacted deposits. 
8. Wipe all dislodged impurities, dissolved carbon, and solvent residue thoroughly with a clean, soft lint-free cloth. 
9. Inspect the surfaces — if carbon deposits remain in recessed areas or on the throttle plate edges, apply a second coat, allow to penetrate, and repeat the scrub-and-wipe process. 
10. Once the throttle body and all accessible intake surfaces are clean and free of residue, carefully reconnect the air duct and intake hose. Ensure all clips, hose clamps, and fasteners are properly seated and secured — any air leak post-cleaning will affect idle quality. 
11. Reconnect the battery terminal if disconnected. 
12. Start the engine and allow it to idle for 3–5 minutes. Expect some initial smoke or rough idle as residual solvent burns off — this is normal and will clear within minutes. 
13. Pro Tip: On drive-by-wire throttle systems, perform a throttle position sensor (TPS) reset or idle relearn procedure after cleaning if the vehicle's ECU supports it — this recalibrates the throttle response to account for the restored airflow and delivers the full performance benefit of the cleaning service.

Q: Is Soltek Throttle Body Cleaner safe for BS6 vehicles?
Yes. Soltek Throttle Body & Intake Cleaner is formulated to be oxygen sensor safe and compatible with modern emission control systems including catalytic converters and particulate filters — making it suitable for use on BS6-compliant petrol and diesel vehicles.

Q: Can I use Throttle Body Cleaner on a carburettor?
Yes. The formulation is effective on carburettors, auto chokes, and carburettor jets — dissolving varnish, gum deposits, and fuel residue that restrict fuel flow and affect air-fuel mixture calibration.

Q: Why is my engine idling rough after using throttle body cleaner?
A brief period of rough idle or smoke immediately after cleaning is normal — residual solvent burning off in the combustion chamber causes this, and it clears within 2–5 minutes of idling. If rough idle persists beyond this period, check that all intake hoses and air ducts are properly reconnected and sealed, as any air leak will affect idle quality.

Q: How often should a throttle body be cleaned?
For most vehicles under normal operating conditions, throttle body cleaning is recommended every 30,000–40,000 km or at every major service interval. Vehicles operating in dusty environments, those with a history of oil consumption, or those showing symptoms of rough idle or poor throttle response may benefit from more frequent cleaning.

Q: Can I spray Throttle Body Cleaner directly into the intake without removing the air duct?
While spraying through the intake is possible, removing the air duct and directly exposing the throttle body provides complete access to the throttle plate and bore walls — delivering a thorough clean that spray-through-intake application cannot match. Direct access is always the recommended approach for a proper service.

Q: Will cleaning the throttle body improve fuel efficiency?
Yes. Carbon and varnish deposits on the throttle plate and bore walls restrict airflow and disrupt the air-fuel ratio calculated by the ECU. Removing these deposits restores factory airflow characteristics, allowing the engine management system to operate within its designed parameters — which typically results in measurable improvements in idle quality, throttle response, and fuel efficiency.
