Hello i have a 1.6 vitara g16b in my sierra. The 5 pin airflow type. Now im having troubles cleaning the coolant inlet/outlet pipes. They body has been soaking in mix of petrol and kerosene for a week and this area in the throttle body is still quite blocked with i asssume rusted up gunky coolant.

I have tried compressed air still no luck. It is too hard to poke anything up there. Is there some type of chemical flush available that is done at a specialist workshop??

I have emailed every suzuki parts specialist i can find to perhaps source a new or good used body. Hopefully during the week they can email me back.

IMHO petrol or kero won't help. Glycol is water soluble so a hydrocarbon based solvent won't dissolve it.

Water would be as effective. Maybe try product like draino or a calcium/lime/rust type remover.

Is there anything internal where these coolant lines run into the body that i could harm with using a concoxion (spelling) of those chemicals. Like rubber or etc. I am no throttle body genius hence the silly question. It doesnt appear you can pull that section apart either which blows.

dishwasher tablets/powder and hot water usually works well.
don't put in your cooling system

Have you undone the cover off the bottom. You can normaly clean it then. Should be a couple Philips Head screws and the cover comes off.

there is no cover as such that i can see. It looks like theres a welsh plug thats it. I have no idea how welsh plugs work either.

Under the throttle bodie there will be a plate. With philips head screws in it.
