Re: Throttle body
If it is anything like the sport 1.4 16v (X14XE) then there is no easy way.
You need to remove all sorts of stuff. Battery, coolant expansion tank, a multitude of wiring and vacuum hoses (label as you remove else you will never remember how to reconnect), Fuel feed & return hoses (depressurise first), Inlet manifold upper chamber, etc etc etc
I even removed the auxillary blower and coil pack.
Then actually working the throttle body away from the air induction hose and its mounting bracket (without fcking up the gasget as I didn't have a replacement) whilst disconnecting the coolant feed & return pipes is the biggest pain.
It can be done. Just be patient, methodical & have lots of stella & marlboro to hand
