Year of Manufacture *: 2003
Engine Size and Code *: 1.6 16v BCB
( Optional ) Scanner Used: VAG COM & SOLUS
( Optional) Fault Codes: 17550

Hi

Car has fault code 17550 load calculation cross check lower limit exceeded. Car drives perfect no misfires/flat spots etc. Have cleaned and reset throttle body and carried out checks on temp sensor. As soon as fault is cleared it will come back on within a few miles. We are going to check map sensor next, just wondered if anyone have had this code before and can shed some light on it.

Regards Paul

I had a run of three Golf's throwing this code, two of them were cured by cleaning and adapting throttle body,the third one was caused by a split breather hose

We cleaned and reset throttle body but still did not fix it. so decided to replace throttle body and reset and fault code cleared and has not returned. Strange as car drove perfect with old unit on.

Thanks again for advice.
