I read my Haynes manual to remove it completely and used CRC Throttle Body and Air Intake Cleaner ($8) also available at any auto parts shop like Autozone.
When I put it back together and drove my car for the next few days I noticed really bad performance after a cold start. I suspected the washers had to be replaced. So I went to my local dealer and got these parts: 000 140 27 87 (Damper) for $11.38 and 111 141 10 80 (Gasket) for $4.47, corresponding to the parts labelled 71 and 48 respectively in the following picture.
Sure enough, the problem was solved.
