so topher do you think my throttle body has gone and need a new onee with what i explained?? revs up and down a few rpm and throttle dont respond sometimes when pressure is applied dont always do tho cus if so it wouldnt move good lad
could be worth getting it on vag-com to see if you have any throttle fault codes

Why don't you just start with giving it a clean and take it from there? Stop worrying

it's been doing it 2 years? :huh:
 
vagcom will scan for faults, log live data from various engine sensors and re-adapt your throttle body after it's been cleaned.

the motor needs resetting to it's zero position if it's been sticking. it will adapt itself over some time, but it needs resetting if you want to see instant results.

If your old man has been doin cars for 40yrs why dont you get him to do it if you dont know how to fix cars ? you really need to reset the throttle though after you clean it - vagcom , snap-on , reflex etc etc im sure your dad will know how to reset etc with scan tools
