- Thread starter lowalbicardiff
- Start date
Took the 182s off to do the step removal modification ( identical to the 197s btw ) and that had done 40,000 miles and never been touched.
Wasnt particulary dirty, a small degree of oil but apart from that spotless. I wouldnt bother.
If you do though theres no realigning, just bolt it back up.

It will do mate, there is no torque.
Until you get past 3500 rpm forget it, just the way the engine is though you could get it remapped to improve the issue.
Could just as easily be caused by a dirty air filter, blocked injectors or unservicable plugs etc.
Whats made you point to the TB in particular?
Unlikely to be the tb causing the sluggishness.
More likely to be the fat heavy lump of the metal the engine has to haul around.

Lol i was merely pointing out it could be any problem, not specifically saying it was one of these parts.
you usually find a "dirty" tb causes poor idling more than sluggish performance - but for how long it takes is worth doing i suppose - i have just taken the inlet pipe off and wiped inside with a cloth with a bit of wd40 on - to clean off any oil mist/carbon from the crank breather - the flap can be moved by hand :thumbup1:
