Throttle Body

Throttle Body - UPDATE WITH PHOTOS

Just taken mine off to clean it (in my lunch break ) and i notice its coolant fed.

A common mod on the corsa 1.6 16v/1.4 16v is to connect the 2 coolant pipes to divert the flow. This means you dont have warm water heating up your TB and intake air. Anyone do this on their ibiza?

When i put it back together i will take a photo for you

These 2 brass joiners used to feed hot water into my throttle body...

Collant runs throught he throttle body

Yup, does on an AGG and does on vauxhall x14xe etc...

I'll soon change that on mine

Pretty positive my 2E didnt have this kind of arrangement. So theres actually a coolant hose running into it? Must be a small dia. pipe.

A pipe running in and a pipe running out. Both 7mm

I have not noticed any such pipe on the ABF.

Follow your top coolant bottle hose

Only hose that goes into the ABF tb is the oil breather and there is a small dia pipe but that goes to the standard air box!

Dim coolant hose!

Its all back together now and running

Part number for TB gasket is 028129748 iirc

Photos up later

YEh i have the two pipes on my Agg TB. Will it affect the engine at all if you connect the two pipes? I dont want reliability issues

You may find that your cold idle will be all over the place, the throttle Body on your can has a 'stepper motor' which controls idle and the coolant pipes go into that I think.

The ABF throttle Body doesn't have coolants pipes going to it.

Where is the idle stabilisation vavle on the ABF?

 

[myseatcupra]

its under the black plastic thingy at the front of the engine. the bit that the leads are pressed in to

Idle is fine and its been driving really well

good news, keep us updated mate.

 

[jenk]

So its purpose is for cold idling? Am i correct in thinking theres no ISV on an AGG engine then? You learn somethin new every day

AGG

On that photo...

Follow the top right radiator hose to the coolant flange (bolted to the head). A smaller pipe comes off the flange from the right. This goes up to the throttle body, circulates around then exits up to the top of the expansion tank.

Mine goes from the flange straight to the bottle

Sorry i havn't put pics up yet
