Hi Guys,
Firstly I'll apologise I'm typing this on my iPhone so I don't have the exact VCDS logs on my phone, but I am getting pissed off with this car, I keep getting the EPC, check tyre pressure and traction lights on the dash. All the fault codes point to throttle errors. I spent $1,900 in May at VW service getting a new throttle body and accelerator pedal as they were sure that was the problem, the issue went away until a few weeks ago. I also had the entire wiring harness loom replaced/repaired under warranty as apparently that was the cause. I'm onto my 3rd throttle body now I can't afford to just keep forking out $800 for a throttle body every few months! Surely someone else has this issue and it's not just me. It gradually gets worse and you lose power when it goes into limp mode. Sometimes the car fails to start without putting your foot on the gas while turning the key. Before the last throttle body replacement the car used to actually stall/break down while driving once on the highway!! Dangerous as fuck!
If anyone has any help or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Car is out of warranty and modified anyway so I'm not sure what my next call of action is, as I'm sure if I kick up a fuss with VW they will blame the modifications.
If you need any further information please let me know.
Thanks in advance
