Carbon deposits can occur in the throttle valve support through the combination of unfavourable factors. If these are found, e.g. when disassembling the exhaust gas recirculation valve -N18- or the intake manifold flap motor -V157,-, the support will have to be cleaned.
  WARNING
Acetone is highly inflammable. Please observe the accidental regulations and safety notes when handling with highly inflammable fluids. Wear eye protection and protective clothing to avoid possible injury and skin contact.
