Title: 4 cans of carb cleaner.....
Post by: zippo on 07 May 2008, 16:16:48
i used to to clean my cars throttle body and breathers 4 bloody cans I
wouldn't mind so much if i hadn't asked the garage to clean them when i bought the car ( after reading Auto Addicts how 2) Every pipe was caked in crude and the t/b looked like it hadn't ever been cleaned
  I feel better now rant over ;D




there is one slight problem though i asked the wife  which draw she kept the rags/cloths in that she uses around the house . i used the cloths out of the wrong draw, in my rush i used a dozen or so of her
tea towels oops  :-[ :-[ :-[ ::) ::) ::) iam in deeep $hit

4 cans? just buy new pipes, tis cheaper!

That thin breather pipe on top of the cam cover that goes into the throttle body often is blocked solid, first time i did my dads i just bought a new pipe! was 70p!  ;D

I generally use a whole can on a breather clean when they cleanish!

Seems you got off lightly, Deb's only called you a chicken. How the heck have have you got away with even admitting you do not know where the tea towels are kept let alone referring to the as HER tea towels. :-? :-? :-?
No wonder you get 'that look' even more that me. ;D ;D ;D

I find tea towels an essential part of car maintenance especially the toweling ones they have the best absorbency properties  :y as long as SWMBO doesn't catch me ;)
