paulmpaciorek Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 Hi all A work mate of mine has a 2000 Gal Tdi and it has developed a fault. I have Vag-com but I am unable to get to his house to diagnose before the local garage pick it up.......so here are the symptoms if anyone knows what may be at fault.Might be able to stop him being ripped off !!! It starts up ok......revs up once and then thats it.......it then just idles and wont rev up again until you switch it off and restart. He never noticed if there was any warning lights on........very observant NOT. Anyone else had this problem ??? It was running fine up until now...no lack of power etc.Its the first of the facelift models. Paul Quote
johnb80 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 Is it auto or manual? And the significance is (curiosity is killing me) Regards - John Quote
Guest neil_wiles Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 Faulty throttle pedal sensor Causes the MIL to light and goes into limp home mode 1200 rpm max Quote
paulmpaciorek Posted February 8, 2005 Author Report Posted February 8, 2005 It is manual. I got to work this morning and hid Gal is in the car park !!! I had read some posts on this site about the throttle sensor and the pedom.....whatsiname thingie !!! and I told him to have a "wiggle" about around the pedal and it is now fine .I am going to hook it up to the Vag com to see if the codes are there for an intermittent fault. Thanks again to this "marvelous" site.......more money saved !!! Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Is it auto or manual? And the significance is (curiosity is killing me) Regards - John ...if the ECU gets a signal from the auto saying it is in Reverse and the speed is above zero, there is a bug that prevents the engine from rising above idle speed on some models.
