How often do I need to align the throttle body?

scottie vrs · 23-05-2007, 16:01

Hello i'm thinking of doing the throttle body alignment with my laptop and vag com but I dont know if I really need to do it .

The car has remapped by APR and I myself have fitted a carbonio air filter so I have disconnected the battery to do this and then did this again recently to check the security of the air filter .

So the question is do I need to align the throttle body or not?

Any help on this would be great!! Cheers Scott.

Throttle Body Alignment (TBA) - Ross-Tech Wiki

Some examples of reasons to perform a TBA:

The vehicle's battery has been disconnected and re-connected
The ECU has been removed and reinstalled
The Throttle Body has been cleaned or removed and reinstalled
The Accelerator Pedal has been removed and reinstalled
