Might be worth trying a throttle body reset - you can do it with VAGCOM or open bonnet and turn on iginition until the high pitched squeel stops (this worked on the 1.8T's and I am sure works on the TSI too).


Thanks for that little nugget, I have tried that on my 1.8t's but was unaware you could perform the re-set on the 2.0TFSI. I'll give that a go later, I'm always keen on bits of maintenance that don't cost any money  :grin:

Welcome Exonian  :smiley:

Glad you convinced yourself you never had a problem after all  :grin: :grin:

I think we may of all been having our afternoon nap when you posted?  :wink: But you'll find were a friendly bunch, always willing to help  :smiley: (except during afternoon kip :wink:)


Thank you for the (belated!) welcome, I was quite taken aback by the lack of feedback initially as it's usually quite busy on these forums, that's why I persevered!!!

I won't say I'm convinced I don't have a problem but I'm satisfied enough not to want to spend £50 on a new accelerator pedal  :grin:
Maybe I'll invest in a Sprint-booster one day, maybe not.... :undecided: That would cure it once and for all.
