Are we going crazy or is this an issue

[dizziebug]

So turns out our issue wasn't the switches or the MAF sensor - it's the throttle body position sensor- woo hoo that will be nice and cheap

[MikeFish]

How much is that gonna set you back? And how did you confirm it?

[dizziebug]

VAG comm Fault code reader I believe audi's price is circa £1200 - we have had the code come up a couple of times but hoped with a clean that might clear it however this morning the car went into limp mode whilst OH was driving so he bypassed the friend with VAG Comm again and it came up 4 codes relating to the throttle body movement

[dizziebug]

I stand corrected the exact Audi price is £1402

[MikeFish]

Wow

[dizziebug]

Yea ! But then you don't own any RS expecting to get a bargain and cheap repairs

[MIDZ]

I've never tried it, but would it be worth trying to calibrate/align the TB using VCDS first just in-case it's all over the place and throwing a position fault?
I'm guessing you've already tried this after clearing codes?

[Covkiller]

I had to change my throttle body as it went into limp mode a number of times. I think I paid about £1200 fitted at Listers Audi.

the same pierburg throttle body is fitted to a lot of amaerican cars and are about 300 quid i think , look on Audizine forum ,, i,m sure you,ll find them there somewhere and even the suplier some owners over there have replaced them with no issues and a quick recal of the throttle position with VCDS

[dizziebug]

Hi all yes the corvette z06 has the same one I believe - yes we recalibrated and so far it's behaved itself got a 4 hour drive in it today so we shall see if it continues to

[DavidRS4]

Fingers crossed for you.

[Covkiller]

Hey dizziebug. Before fitting mine Audi said they fixed my old one, if you have any problems you can have it for postage costs.

[dizziebug]

I have a b7 will it fit ?
