Forget the code for a minute, what are the actual symptoms with the car.

Just  removed battery,and under tray engine cover,and induction pipes to be able to follow the wires from the inlet flap motor that go under the battery tray,I found the harness had been chafing on the starter motor thick black wire,,and worn through,and 2wires where touching and green mouldy,I've repaired them,one traced back the the inlet flap motor,so I'll try it out today,this chafing is quite common ,happened to me a few years ago,similar tdi golf,,,,and was found by Newark diagnostics as I gave up,,but remembed this time. I've pictures but don't know how to list them?
