Morning all can I clean the throttle body on my 1.8t without calibrating it via vagcom afterwards?

What about if I clean it without removing the body? Haven't got access to vagcom/vcds at the mo something I need to invest in, I have the lead and a laptop but no vcds software unless I can download a free/cracked version

you don't need vag com, take it off, clean it and put it back together and it will be fine. Done it a few times to my last 1.8t.
