Hi Pete I think you probably have more than 1 problem on this car. But If the car is going into limp mode I would think this is to do with fuel pressure or the throttle codes. I would scope the throttle body, scope both the position signal wires and the 5v feed and the ground to the sensor while doing a WOT test with just ign on. Look for drop outs in the position signal as any kind of descrepency will set throttle codes, flash the lights and put the vehicle into limp. The plastic teeth wear in the throttle body and the throttle flap opening is not smooth. I posted a similar problem in the fixed and gone section. 'Audi S3 throttle malfunction' with pics of what I mean. My problem was also at 3000rpm. This might not be your problem but it may not be a bad place to start. Is that engine code correct I can't seem to find it on autodata when I was looking for the wiring diagram to have a look? or could it be code BAD? Also Is it the APC or EPC light? I can not seem to find any info on APC light. If you know what it means could you let me know? I hope this may be of some use Cheers James |
