iMation Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 So last night on the way home, as i was coming to a round about, slowing down to stop, the engine cut out..So limped it home, and made sure there were no loose connections with the alternator or battery..Took it back out and it happened again, same thing.Looked on the forum last night, a few pointers to the throttle body, so got up this morning, took the air filer off and checked the oil breather pipe, a little bit of dirt and stuff but nothing to worry about, cleaned as much of the butterfly as i could too, put it all back to gether and test, same thing again.Gonna grab some carb cleaner tonight, and see if i can get hold of vagcom/error checking to check for codes..Any other advice?

iMation Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Got vagcom on it tonight and got the00282 - Throttle position actuator - static - short to earth.....Ive checked around the throttle body for loose connections but cant really see much that seems out of place!

Pete Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Maybe it's the throttle actuator itself that's dodgy Stu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkiii Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi mate, i have a throttle body that i bought for my car but it was the wrong one.It came off a 99-2000 1.4s and its electronic controlled (just a plug connector to it)The one i need is a cable operated throttle and the plug.If your interested pm me.Rhys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
