Fault Code 00282 Throttle Postion Actuator

[ToJo]

Hi, Recently bought a basic diagnostics tool.

When scanning my 1.4 16v Sport it keeps giving me the fault code

'00282 Throttle position actuator'

I clear it and it comes back within a week or so.

The idle is a bit inconsistent which I guess has something to do with it.

Been reading around and do i need to re-allign the body?

Thanks

Tom

you need to do a throttle adaptation, this runs the throttle body through a test and allows it to reset itself. as far as im aware the only way to do this is with vag com (think you will need full version) its dead easy to do but there must be no other faults before you do it

Ok thank you very much, I have a friend who has the full version of VagCom so will ask nicely!

Evening, according to my Autodata book, The fault is ' idle speed control (ISC) actuator/throttle motor'. The probable cause is:

• throttle valve tight/sticking,
  
• wiring,
  
• multi-plug incorrectly wired,
  
• ISC actuator/throttle motor
  

I'd probably start with a good clean with a spray cleaner.

Right had the throttle body reset using VagCom.

the 00282 Fault code came back within a day which is frustrating,

at the weekend i'll give the throttle body and actuator a good clean to see if this helps.

The person who reset the throttle body said they've seen this before but on a polo6n2 and they had to put in a new pedal box, could this be the same on the Lupo?

i no this is an old post but does any one know if you would have to replace the pedal box to solve this problem? got the same problem any one else got any ideas? would it be a major issue if i left it as it is?
