Greetings
1 KR-FE engine Yaris 2007.
What is the white stuff on the throttle body bolts? I think its thread locker? If it is thread locker, what is the part number for it?
Any alternatives? (Keep in mind that I live in a 3rd world country that used to be 1st world so I probably won't know of 3rd party alternatives except for maybe loctite). Is loctite advisable? (loctite sounds American, so you must know :biggrin:)
On a footnote for some useless or not so useless information for future searches: I found a pool of engine oil in the airbox. Traced it back to a clogged PCV valve. I cleaned the oil out of the airbox. Pool of oil returned. Oil pool problem went away as soon as I changed the PCV valve.
I assume that the PCV failure caused the pressure to build and spew oil through the breather pipe. Air filter was taking oil baths before the PCV valve change :cry:
Oil Consumption has dropped dramatically lately.
So that is why I took the throttle body out. I had to clean a slimy layer of black oil out of the throttle body.
More useless info: The throttle body had the engraving "Made in Germany - Bosch "
