Title: Throttle body
Post by: bilal on April 04, 2024, 04:40:48 pm

Hello, ive had a code come up on my mk5 gti PO221, regarding the throttle position sensor and body. I replaced both and still have the same issue, just wondering what else could it be. I have replaced the pedal to check if that was the issue but nothing changed, car still had the same issue. I have also tried taking the codes off via vcds but they come back straight away, even after replacing throttle body. Help would be appreciated

I had a throttle body issue a few years ago, made the car un-driveable eventually.  I changed the throttle body, flashed the ECU but was still having issues. It turned out to be the wiring loom to the throttle body.

Thank you, how easy is the fix for the wiring loom and do you remember how much it was.
