C32 AMG
Throttle Actuator

Hi All,

I have a 2002 C32 AMG, I havent tried any DIY on this car yet, but I have on previous cars, Im just so over awed when I open the bonnet, where exactly is the throttle body situtuated?

Im having some idle issues and was hoping cleaning it out would help

The TB is right against the firewall in the middle. It is attached to the supercharger. A rubber y-pipe sits on top of it (if your intake is OEM).
If you can't recognize the TB on your own, it may be a good idea to take the car to a specialist. It is very common that while trying to save some mney you will do more damage and it will cost you a lot more later to fix. Usually happens to me with pluming in my house.
