Since I was in the very same boat and did not know where it is located i could not help hime either ![]() Now, he asked me what is it called in 'Hindi' !! I did not know that either ![]() So, please help me out with the 'Hindi'/'Bengali for Throttle body. P.S Where is it located? |

| Sometimes what happens is that the local mechanic doesn't know the exact word but know a broken version of the part. In my native place I've seen that the mechanic won't understand if you say Shock-absorber but you need to say it as socket-jober . So there may be a local word for Throttle Body also. |

| Senior - BHPian | Arre bhai seedha bolo na ki "air filter to hata kar uske neeche wali body ko saaf kar do" Some mechanics also understand butterfly valve, so tell him to clean the butterfly valve assembly.

| Distinguished - BHPian ![]() | Many years ago, my brother in law bought a Maruti 800. He is a person deeply interested in how things work and he even had a Maruti service manual. When he gave his car for regular repair, Wlson's man told him that his yoram was halfway spoiled and it would be safer to replace it. Not wanting to show his ignorance, he nodded and left, saying he would return with the required parts the next day. That evening he leafed through every page of the manual, looking for a Yoram. He even called me, but I knew even less about these things. The next morning he went to Dhiraj motor stores and terrified of having people laugh at him, he winced said "Maruti 800 ka Yoram dena" Promptly the salesman pulled out the lower arm from the shelf and made a bill. What fun.
