cls500 throttle body cleaning
Anyone clean the throttle body? Looks like all you do is take off engine covers, remove mass air flow sensor, and the throttle body should be right there ready for cleaning? Sound correct?
im also happy to write up diy with pics if it is helpful for everyone??

Don't waste you time and money on BS spray---it's what you don't see within the TB that manages the TB and you do not want to FA with that.

Ha. It's fairly common in mercedes to clean the throttle body to avoid rough idle or loss of performance. Have done it in all my cars and I always notice improved throttle response. But thanks for the tip about the hot dog
