Have anyone done before?
Car hit almost 190km. Should I do throttlebody cleaning?
Or it is not a must to do so? By the way car is running fine. Any advice?

190km or 190k km?

If 190k km, I'd just do it. Clean the Maf sensor as well.

Another skool of tot is that if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Take apart every bolt and screw and clean it, then oil it and put back better.

Agreed. Some mechs just remove intake hose and use clothe soak in kerosene to clean away the dirt.

Sorry my bad. It is 190,000km. :o
Maybe I shall not do it, since my car is smooth and problem free.
