Not sure if you have a 16 or 8v but here goes:

Take the airbox off and you should see the TB underneath.
(On the 16v) There are 4 torx bolts which hold the TB on
and remember to take the connecting wiring
and accellerator wiring off before removing.

Give it a good clean with carb cleaner (Spray Can)
That should solve your problem (for a while anyway!)
