VW Golf Mk5 Diesel - Sloppy throttle response - Simple reset
My accelerator pedal all of a sudden went very sloppy and I lost power. After a bit of research I found this 30 second fix that worked for me.
The procedure seems to reset the response between the pedal and throttle. Apparantly it can work for other VW group vehicles too.

Common loom failure between body and tailgate.
I can't believe this actually works! I got a flat battery on a VW 2002 Mk4. After recharging the battery I got a few warnings on the dash, the idle was really weird -- going up and down, and throttle was completely unresponsive. Did exactly what you described in the video, turned it on and everything back to normal! Thank you so much!!!
I have same problem flat battery.. after recharging I noticed that the turbo lag has increased and reduced boost pressure. Did u have same problems?
You saved me lot of money on my gold 4 130hp 4motion. Just did it and it fixed it
Do you have to release the accelerator before turning off the dashboard or after? You did it before but I see a lot of videos doing it later.
Does it work for 1.4 tsi 2008 scirocco?
Worked like a charm. Wonderful!
Does anyone know how often this procedure needs to be done?
Can you do this after having it stage 1 ?
Why not?
Bought a mk5 golf 2.0 tdi two days ago, yesterday engine light came on, plugged the obd reader in and came up with throttle actuator control motor circuit, thought I’d be paying out hundreds to have the part replaced, but did this and it worked! Engine lights off and car feels mint!
That freacking check engine light
Did as you instructed on my 2009 VW CC 2.0l TSI. Worked like a charm my friend! PS. I thought it was my shoes as well lol
This worked on my Golf mk7. Many thanks!
that's my last hope that the wire is actually cut somewhere here 😭 else i need to visit mechanic thanks tho
Does this work on mk7 golf?
Thank you so much. Your method absolutely worked.
Does this work for mk4 automatic 1.9 tdi?
My problem is fixed at 2:34 am Heading down to Cornwall in the middle of the night in my T5, amazing worked a treat
Does it work on the golf 5 GTI 2:05
My car has this exact problem right now lol I’m going to have to check in that area thanks
Does this have to be done again once the battery is removed or does it save itself? I've just done on mine worked a treat thanks alot 🙏
Do you have to disconnect the battery first?
I will do this procedure. If it works, you are the greatest.
It worked?
you sir are a legend, fixed the issue with my other half’s Audi 2L
i made my mom try that on my dads car and it worked kind of bc we had the throttle down for only 10 seconds
This resets the DSG and nothing else. So all you guys have faced is a DSG based issue.
Boot won't open,will check these wires before ordering a new latch.Thank you
Hello,I’ve done that on my Golf mk6 1.6 TDI but after 2 days, my pedal went to the same sloopy response before this procedure. Any tips?
Hi, did you find out what should be done? i have the same car :)
@@webpro607 Well, not quite. It turned out that the problem was in the throttle body which had to be cleaned due to massive amount of carbon I had....
Thank you sir I now have a new car 😁 I bought it 6months ago and its never drove this well before I did that procedure thanks again.
Sir a big hug from UK 🤗I have a VW golf Mk5 1.9 diesel I had a similar problem last week it was like even on a third gear the revs was to high,felt like I was dragging and forcing an elephant,did ur procedure and miracle happend,now I have more power than before,smoother drive,better fuel efficiency and most of all the shifting is like wow I can change gears with my finger,thank you so much.
Huge difference for the 3rd time
No words to descibe my thoughts ryte now, worked like a charm, thank you so very much, frm singapore vw GLI
I don’t know whether it’s placebo but I tried this on my 1.6 fsi and it feels quicker
Is this only for diesel golfs of does it work on petrol golfs? I’ll give it a go
So I haven't tried this yet, but my 1.9tdi stalls out whilst driving, has happened 3 times now, I thought fuel issue but changed anything to do with fuel and its still doing it. Could this be the issue ?
BRO YOU ARE AMAZING, THANK YOU
Worked a treat! Thank you for sharing!
This works for Manuel transmission cars?
also works for a 2014 jetta
I'm sat here reading the comments thinking this won't work for me, Well it did. Mk2 Seat Leon 2.0 TDI, just changed the boost solenoid because that died amd was left with a massive delay from the turbo. Top man. Nice one!! I get limp mode when boosting in 5th gear, any words of wisdom? Lol 😆
Yo mukka what did ya change on ya leon ?? N75 ??? Let me know
Thank you This was the only video that helped me. My boot wouldn't open and my back wiper would only work intermittently. One of the wires had snapped. Stripped it back, twisted it together and electrical tape. Sorted!
You deserve a huge hug my friend. Had a problem between shitfting there was always a turbo lag of some sort and how there is none the car feels like never before and im so glad you showed me that <3
Hero. Worked first time and I did exactly as described in the video. I had the same problem with the same car.
I did this procedure to a 2009 VW Golf 103TDi. The throttle now is more responsive & instant. The DSG engages quickly & smoothly from stand-still. The DSG selects and holds gears differently than before. The engine is quieter and after a few days driving, the diesel knock i was experiencing sometimes after getting back in the car having driven it & parked for a while is gone or so reduced that inaudible. The engine now seems to purr. How long this will stay like it is?? But re-doing the throttle tweak is a 30 second exercise so easily repeated as required. I had done a DSG re-calibration with VAGCOM days before this throttle tweak and the down change clunk was reduced but not completely. The throttle tweak seems to have improved the down change as well but not fixed it :( I have previously tried variations of this tweak but this one seems to have worked. Thanks for sharing.
Did mine yesterday and wow 😯 so much more power talk about the car now drives like it should
Is this a joke or what. I'm hoping not. Really need it to work.
Will it work with all electronic throttle cars?
so i had no hope that this would actualy do anything BUT it did , feels like a whole new car , what i noticed : the noise got reduced a bit when just cruising ( i do have a res and backbox delete , mk5golf 2.0tdi dsg ) , better fuel economy ( on the same drive i usually do got -1.5 to 2 L/100km , and now i can finally module the power because before it was either no power or all of it at half throttle , also the car when driven fast doesn t need to be fought it s like smoother even in sport . i would like to thank you for this
Running downstairs to try this 🏃♂️
This is really genuine, IT fixed The problem!!
Is this only for automatic transmission or manual also?
Did u keep ur foot on or take it off the accelerator before taking the key out please as u forgot to mention ur foot position upon removal of the key
He clearly says. After the specified time has passed. "lift your accelerator pedal, switch off and take the key out" 👍🏾
Think you watch a wrong video. It was loud and clear t me
