3 Remove the air intake duct (1) and hose (2), refer to
6C1-3 Engine Management – V6 – Service
Operations.

4 Retract the throttle body wiring connector lock (3).
5 W hile pressing the connector latch in the direction of the arrow (4), disconnect the throttle body wiring
connector.
6 Disconnect the throttle body connector wiring harness from its retaining clip (5).
7 Remove the main wiring harness retainer pin (6) from the intake manifold by pushing from the front to the
rear using a suitable piece of 5 mm steel rod (or an
Allen key).
The following precautions must be followed
when disconnecting the throttle body wiring
connector:
• Do not use any mechanical device such
as a screwdriver to disengage the
harness connector (1) from the throttle
body (2).
• When retracting the throttle wiring
connector lock (3), take care not to
disengage the lock from the connector.
• Do not pull on the connector wires.
• Take care not to break the barbed
harness retainer pin (6) while removing
the harness retainer from the intake
manifold.
• Should the pin be broken, then it is vital
that a new harness retainer is fitted to the
wiring harness shield. If not, the harness
will foul the engine drive belt.
