BMW X5 Throttle body clean
When does my BMW X5 need a throttle body clean?
The throttle body can be found in BMW X5 engine bays, it’s part of the air intake system on fuel-injected models. Air from the outside of the BMW X5 is directed via tubes and flows through the air filter, into the throttle body, where it is then drawn into the intake manifold.
The air is then mixed with fuel and ignited, creating the combustion required to power a BMW X5.
If a BMW X5’s throttle body is dirty you may notice these signs that it’s time to have it cleaned:
- Engine stall
- Rough idle
- Hesitation on acceleration
- Overall poor performance
To clean a BMW X5’s throttle body involves spraying a designated throttle body cleaner into the throttle body and brush it clean. Ideally, you want a professional mechanic to carry out a throttle body clean.
An automotive service centre or mobile mechanic will be able to do a BMW X5 throttle body clean.
