rickb Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hi Have listed this in other model specific Lupo forum but realise it should be hereMy Lupo died at TL. Battery flat because of car lights and trying to start. disconnected and recharged battery, left terminals touching 24hrs. Errors 17950 throttle body & 17978 immobiliser. Taken air filter off, checked wiring connections (a little), fully recharged battery again now ONLY 17950 throttle body error code BUT car still always starts and immediately stops. Can the throttle body error cause immobiliser to kick in as it seems this is why the car stops. Thinking of either cleaning throttle body (never done) and/or replacing ( it as quick solution) ANY ideas and or friendly vagcom owner to local Bagshot Surrey.

danoid Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Have you tried any other keys? Leave key in ignition and turn to on, but don't start the car, leave it there for about 5 minutes, then try to start the car with the clutch down.See what it does then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danoid Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 You could try disconnect your battery completely for an hour, then see if that helps.Not sure what else unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
