How often should I replace my Subaru throttle body?

Over time the throttle body's parts can wear and ultimately fail, both resulting in the engine not being fed the correct amount of air for the air / fuel mixture to combust in the cylinder. In the event, the engine may lose power. In most cases the throttle body will just be dirty (usually it's covered in a black residue), preventing an adequate amount of air to pass through the valve. Should you experience an issue like this or those listed earlier, it is advisable to have the throttle body inspected as soon as possible and, if necessary, have it replaced. Seeing that the throttle body is a component that is especially prone to wear it should always be replaced as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer.

Garage in Kilmarnock, 16 years of experience

16 years in the trade cover most work types, happy to help.

“Richard was a pleasure to deal with, with the patience of a saint given how awkward it is to navigate around my part of the city near rush hour. He let me know he was running a bit late and updated me when he was in the area proper. Work was carried out in pretty bad weather and in the dark but posed no hassle for him as he was able to carry out a battery replacement with a stuck bolt with no trouble whatsoever. He also made sure that my alternator was working fine after a start up and recommended replacing the bolt, which was great for further peace of mind. So far no issues with the new battery so I'm pleased to have the use of the car again.”
