Asr light flashing - loss of power

[150+]

Can anyone shed some light on this for me.

Doesn't happen all the time but more than I would like, I'll go to put my foot down in 2nd and the asr light starts to flash and won't give off any more power...so stays at like 2k revs until I turn the asr on and off

Any help would be great thanks in advance

Sweet!! Will give it a try any do's or don'ts when removing and cleaning

Also car is idleing slightly higher than normal just over 1k normally it's 8-900

Does that look dirty?? And what is the brown stuff?? I'm guessing it shouldn't be there

Looks pretty clean, what's it like when you open up the valve?

The brown stuff is just a little oil by the looks of it

Couldn't open the valve but maybe being to soft with it how hard should I be with it??

Its normal to have abit of oil in there, you want to check the otherside as well.
Also check all your vag lines for leaks and clean your maf.

Is that not just the traction control cutting in as it should

Shouldn't that only happen if the asr is on, just stops the car from lighting up
