1. Agree with the concept that cleaning a throttle body cannot damage anything and cannot impact the warranty....
But.
2. The comment about "the dealer must prove" is real nonsense. Yes, Moss Magnussen is the law, but PRACTICALLY speaking, dealers hold all the gold: they just need to
decide something you did caused the damage and YOU are stuck with mounting a lawsuit! It will cost you $40-100k to sue them, for a disagreement over a an engine or tranny worth 6, 8, 15k. In reality, most people just give up once the dealer/manufacturer takes a hard stand.
Yes, a bit OT, but lots of people repeat this factoid and don't appreciate the practical aspects.
