Put my foot down in my car today and lost power went into limp mode. Epc and traction control light on. Also the cel come on as well but went of when restarted. It's done this before about a month ago but turned car on the day after and every thing was ok. Had a look through the search and most people say its throttle body. Any clues before I book it in to get looked at. Maybe something simple I can check first.
-
Just went to the car and started it and now fine. :stupid:
-
I would've said Throttle Body too (replace with RevQ when and if you do) --- perhaps a realignment, do you have VCDS?
-
Sounds the same as when my throttle body was replaced. What plugs do you have in?
-
Throttle body x 3
Mine did the same
-
As Mike asks, what plugs are in the car?

Let's hope not the Nology crap that everyone was advising on here not so long ago!!

Lol the nology silver ones i think. It only happends when i floor it. And when the lights come on if i turn it off and restart it almost dies then revs up to normal idle.. Leave it for about an hour then its fine again. Its has felt abit flat latlely aswell. Seems like a lot of flat spots as its climbing up the revs. Not massively but just abit of..
-
Id recommend oem plugs or ngk bkr irridoums ASAP! Hopefully you'll get away without having to renew the throttle body

Throttle body mate..i had the same symptoms and replaced it and it was all fine!I also would advise to replace it with a revision Q as thats the latest one i believe.

I thought nology were the daddys at one point. I think il do both then fit new plugs and a new throttle body. Thanks for the info lads.

I think il try the plugs first. I do have a spare throttle body sat in my shed its a j version. But dont know if it works or not. Came with a engine i bought. Fingers crossed.
-
A mate has a brand new Q for sale
-
+ 1 for throttle body.
Had exactly this with mine a few weeks ago. Old TB was made by VDO and the new one was a Continental part. To date my servicing agent hadn't seen a Continental part fail but has seen numerous VDO parts fail. He or I aren't claiming anything by this, just an observation. :happy2:
-
Just done it again on the motorway just dabbed the throttle and lost power. Its a vdo part on there i think. They ent cheap though are they.
-
^^^ I got a brand new Q from German ebay for €99 :happy2:
-
Bargain, about £250 i see in uk
-
Definitely worth a look :happy2:
-
Yep got to be throttle body for me. Mine went about a month ago with exactly the same symptoms. Got my rev Q from eBay off a 2012 audi for £35 :happy2:
-
Looks like your lucky day, same guy i got mine from, gone up a bit in price, but still good

Sweet il have a look. Im gona bung some plugs in first though just in case.

Fitted new plugs and gave the car a good thrashing and diddent miss a beat. No limp mode so hopefully i got away with just fitting plugs. :smiley: :happy2: :laugh:
