Re: throttle body help
Sounds like it. You could do with cleaning the breather hose out, although I cant remember how to!

Re: throttle body help
When was the oil last changed/ last time you had a service?
Re: throttle body help
Just remove the breather hose from the air intake box and attach a seperate breather filter to it (you can buy one from halfords). This way when the breather hose leaks oil (ever polo's breather hose leaks oil) the oil will not get into ur throttle body!!!
