ABF throttle body position sensor ?

[Screech16v]

Alright mate main dealers is best bet there about £9.50 maybe less 

9.50!, i got ripped then vw stafford charged me 15 iirc 

could have changed by now as last one i bought was for my 8v 2 years ago lol thinking about it that will be the same i could try that one

mines just started to do this to! If you drive it pretty hard in first the revs take a while to drop back down. Strange. Where can you get the number 30 relay?

Changing the relay wont make the revs drop quicker   

I cant remember me saying that it would  , for future reference of course, i know they're very common to go. But thanks for your concern

has been staying on the revs while changing gear

Just to shed some light thats one of my issues on my car:
My car has an intermittent fault with the crank speed sensor (or its wiring) which seems to stop the revs dropping back after lifting off/changing down. Its fine changing up. Could take 15/20 seconds to drop from 5000rpm to idle.
When pulling hard up through the revs it also misfires quite violently around 4500rpm as if all ignition is being cut for a split second.
The third symptom happens on idle it tends to kangaroo between 750rpm-1200rpm.

Its an intermittent crank speed reading fault according to vagcom, and if I'm getting any of the above I'm usually getting all 3 so have a feeling they are all linked. Car is fine 6 days out of 7 but when its playing up its a nightmare around town...


EDIT: My reading of my problems is that the crank sensor is unable to tell the engine what rpm its doing hence the rpm related faults. I've never had any throttle position sensor faults on my car on the vagcom maybe OP could look at the crank speed sensor.

that sounds quite bad mate i havn't yet had anything as eratic as that but i do remember changing the crank sensor on my old 8v due to none starting etc im getting no codes at the so i think its either relay or tps with my issue cheers

I'll give an update when I eventually get around to checking all the related wiring, and replacing the sensor. I'm flat out busy these days and as its a intermittent fault its not a matter of life or death (yet)

I get what you mean from your last post  it is possible the crank sensor is slowly dieing as im sure its never been replaced i'm going to replace parts periodicly anyhow as i like my cars to be up together as much as possible. Even if it's not broke i usually replace the common faults especially as i'm planning on keeping this car for a long time  hope you get time to fix yours and it dosn't suddenly get worse  cheers
