Or, as I said earlier, it would be cheaper to source it out either from Citroen, or directly from the manufacturer, which is VICTOR REINZ, product code no.> VR 15-36571-01

Top advice. at least going down that route your getting genuine parts and not something else thats not as good as OEM quality from a motorfactors.

I have a 54 plate 2.0D - I have never changed the throttle body & it was a company car before I got hold of it so doubt they did...? Luck of the draw perhaps? I have had the EGR valve deactivated via the ECU at the same time I had the DPF removed; perhaps that's why its cleaner...? The manifold cleaned up well after being soaked in brake cleaner. I'm now scratching my head as to how to clean out the cylinder head without taking it off to be reconditioned...!

As for the head I doubt you would see much from doing it as the inlet has now been cleaned and flowing fully so the air would be in there and wont be going back out with the engine running. Seems a very costly and long job just to clean the head up and there where do you stop from there. Personaly I would just stick to cleaning the TB and inlet mani to keep air flow into the engine at its best.

Local guy to me; rents space from a garage in Sheffield. Best thing I ever did was getting that DPF chopped - passed it MOT with a better emissions rating than when it was in! Got the EGR chopped at the same time; stop the car sucking on its own exhaust makes sense to me...

The Guy (Andy) told me he'd given it an optimisation remap - never had it on a RR so can't say what that translates to in regards to BHP...

Also has anyone else had the odd cough from the engine since cleaning the TB?
