Default How to Clean TBB Turbo/Air sensor

Ok guys, thanks to all the suggestions on the turbo power loss problem after my TBB/BPV install on my 2002 S4 Auto.

One professional recommendation was to check the TBB Turbo/Air sensor (the sensor in the top of the TBB).

I did use some silicone spray to keep the outside of things looking spanky new on my 2002 (and to remove my finger prints BURNT into the nuclear engine). Any suggestions on how to gently clean this sensor. Is it safe to use alcohol to clean the sensor (incase there is some silcone spray on it).

Thanks in advance for the advice and expertise.

Mike

Default Andy one more stupid question!

First, thank you for helping a very NEWBIE S4 owner. This support is almost (almost) as cool as the car.

What is the sensor on the top of the Throttle Body Boot really called? I assume I too can clean that the same way as the MAF.

Thanks

Mike
