  • How to remove throttle body?

    Hey guys! I have a citroen DS3 with the THP engine. Does anyone know how to remove the throttle body from the intake manifold? I managed to remove the piping but I can't see the throttle body and how many bolts it has. Should this work be done from under the car?

    Thanks and cheers!!

      Thanks Jamie!!!! It would be good to use a mirror to see the screws? The white plastic locating clip you mention wheres is it? Should I replace the gasket after removing it? It's so hard to work when I can't see!!

        White clip slides into groove on back manifold above the throttle body. I think it's just to hold the throttle body in place whilst re fitting.
        Yes, recommend having a new rubber seal to hand as the old one go brittle and crack.
        Yes can use mirror too see them better but I just feel for them
