Very informative. Loved the part where you explained the usage of vag-com .
You r the man i follow all your VW videos saved me a lot of money to fix by myself instead of dealing with dealership
Thanx for educating us on Throttle body problems.
i had to install a new throttle body on my 2010 cc, it calibrated itself out after a few days of city driving and i didn't have to reprogram it for some reason.
Thanks for the video. In the cable trottle body, whats the function of the vacuum lines. Does it assist for idle speed control and cruise control?
Thanks, great explanations! Gotta love that VCDS. On a recent 2005 1.6 Golf I worked on, I got "17953 - Throttle Valve Controller
P1545 - 35-10 - Malfunction - Intermittent"
Any suggestions appreciated, though it's only intermittent so not too concerned unless it comes back with CEL etc.
VW on, man!
Hey Humble Boy ,Im getting smarter every time I watch one of your vids .Kids keep bringing home every imaginable VAG product. We have an array of issues .But alas with your constant posting of material most of these issues I can make some good ground on to solving.
Ahhh The power of YOU tube and the ability to access the knowledge . This time 18041 a whole new problem to look forward to. Good to have you helping me out. ☑
Thanks for this informational video, it’s very usefull. I do have e question though. In block 62, what would it mean if the vallues of position 3 and 4 of the gas pedal are equal? M could this mean that the gas pedal is broken?
For 2.0 TSI , will need the VAG cable? I wasn't sure after your statement about the newer ones being plug and play
My A4 B6 with BDV 2.4l V6 has fly by wire ! Will be doing the check soon, cheers.
Made my car run smoother, thx!!!
Brilliant explanation
I cant find the in car lighting you mentioned in this video
Thanks

Superb information cheers
Is it ok to put silicone grease or special grease on the plastic gears? WIll that prevent them from wearing out?
Would I be able to use OBD to reprogram the throttle body or is Vag COM required?
Super helpful video, I'm hoping to accomplish the same test using OBDEleven on my 17 Golf R
Great informative video thanks.!
Watch that beard when sticking your head under the bonnet ( hood) whilst the engine is running lol
I own a Seat Leon 2014 1.4 tsi, sometimes I like to check all the parameters in my car with an OBD2 protocol. The thing is I noticed my leon was making only 125 HP when it usually makes 145. I made a run and noticed the throttle body is at ±12% at idle and tops 35% at 6000 rpm, is this ok? Thanks for your time, greetings from Mexico.
Heya guys I have recently bought a mk4 golf 2001 1.6 n I see a vacuum hose missing from the throttle body , any ideas of what hose connects to would appreciate it thanks
I have a 1994 vw golf with an isv does the adaptation still apply?
Hey Charles great video as always, when you have an intermittent problem with codes P0221 and P0121 and the problem does not occur and codes are not showing when you're testing with your VCDS, should readings be normal as you're showing on your video here or you would see abnormal readings? Thanks
gracias por compartir tus conocimientos pero puedes explicar un poco ha cerca de la coneccion de los pines dell throttle body
I have a mk4 1.8t with 110kW, motor code agu. I think it has the dual system throttle(electric and manual). After reinstalling the throttlebodey after cleaning, is it necessary to adjust the cord to a specific position?
hi, my jetta mk5 throttle body is leaking coolant for one of the little tubings where hoses go on, i can see little fractures in the metal, can those tubings be replaced?
This video is very helpful to me.
Any chance of an update for modern UDS cars? Throttle valve position 1 shows up as volts for me, and the accelerator pedal positions both read the same number. Thanks Charles!
Question is there a way to fix the position sensor on a 1.4 on mk4
Does ETCS reset refers to the throttle body reset that you were talking at the end of the video ??? Thanks in advance
I'm New to the channel and Love it! Does anyone know if it's plug & play for a 2012 VW Passat 2.5 SE throttle body replacement?
What is the best way to figure out whether the motor controller is sending wrong data, or the throttle valve doing the wrong thing upon it? I have figured out so far that on a 1998 GolfIV I have in idle conditions suddenly "slams shut" and the motor going off, after restarting everything is fine again. Now I am wondering if the controller is overcompensating something the wrong way, or if it sends the right things but the throttle valve is doing it wrong.
Thank you much very helpful
Quick ? Just got a 01 jetta vr6 12v. Has slow deceleration making shifting a lil delayed. I cleaned the TB. To see if it would improve that still having same issue. Do i have it reset or could it be something else cause slow deceleration. Thanks for ur time.
these thing are so expensive. how can I repair this unit.
Have a 2010 vw beetle 2.5 engine. Have changed out crank shaft sensor already. Car usually runs fine but will sometimes stall out and will not start back up until after it sits for a few hours. This last time it stalled it acted like it flooded. We were able to finally get it started back running after we pumped the accelerator pedal a few times and held it to the floor, then it cranked but ran rough. A few more times of doing this it started running good again. Could this be the electronic throttle body? One time before it surged a couple of times like it was going to die but didn't, and after it was parked in the shopping parking lot upon ready to leave it would not start until after several hours and then fired right up. (The fuel pump relay pulls in and we can hear the fuel pump run every time we turn on the ignition switch). One extra piece of information is we have no check engine light illuminated, so I suspect no codes. Hope you can help.
Humble mechanic I was on the road driving my 09 golf gti and as I rolling down the st I decided to turn on my ac so not even 3 seconds the whole engine cut off! Just I try giving it some gas and the gas pedal felt like lose as soon as I got off the road try to push the break and it was so hard! Do you think it is the throttle body??
Hey Dr. Humble im a fan of yours and I do have a few questions. I have an 2005 Audi TDI B7 140Hp 16v BLB motor. I have done the oil pump swap 2 years ago and it was all good, last christmas it smoked and stalled on a 1200km ride and had a new EGR installed.
The thing is after 4 months a Pollution light came on. I have erased it 2 times but always comes on.. 1st time the machine told it was the Mass Air Deb but I know it cant be, cause I dont have a loss of power. Just black smole when its on low revs and when I hit the throttle.
A friend said it is a bad mixture of diesel and air and it got me thinking that it can be the trotlle body.
The vacuum lines have no cracks and the throttle body has an rubber ring getting out and its leaking oil.. can it be the cause of it?
If i press the clutch, there is something related to the throttle body or not?
I'm having an issue and the mechanic told me that the throttle body is the problem (Polo 9n3, 1.2, 2007, 45000km...)
my 2012 golf jerks and makes a clumping noise when coming to a stop.. took it to the dealers and was fixed with a SW update initially. the problem issue is happening again after 4yrs, this time the dealer say it requires a throttle body cleaning and vacuum pump replacement.
Dose a 1999 Passat 2.8 v6 need to be flashed or a cap discharge? Thanks in advance!
Golf 4, 2003, BCB, Trouble code 17961 and 17912. Cant give gas at all.
In VCDS, group 62. In the two last boxes (accelerator pedal position) the numbers are almost identical. But is there one or two sensor in the accelerator pedal?
My vw mk5 don't pass 4 rev speed but it also cut patrol and you have to wait for atleast 2 hours. Do you think i need to change a throllle?
Hi buddy, i wanted to ask you about my vw polo throttle body i purchased, on the side where the gears are i can hear a rattling noise like the gears are rattling against the housing, where the plastic cover is. Is that normal? I cant remember my other throttle body doing that.
It sounds as if something is broken in the gears part, hence making that noise.
can we have a video on checking intake manifold flap motor Bank1 and Bank2 - and how to fix them. I replaced mine with cheapest aftermarket from china.
12 months and no issues at all.
2001 VW Beetle 2.0L AZG. I was getting G188 code, replaced throttle body, now getting J388 adaptation error code. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, any suggestions?
Hey Man, so I ran these blocks, and in block 062 sensor 1 and sensor 2 never fully invert, also in block 55 my idle stabilization is a negative -3.9%.....is this all correct, or is it time for a throttle body? Car is a 2010 Mk5 Jetta TSI
Is it possible to short out a tb? Was getting tb faults and epc light and realized that one of the middle wires going to tb harness was broken at crimp from previous splice per tsb. Wiggled the suspect wire while engine was running and throttle body acted strange and would struggle to idle even after running adaptation and repairing broken connection. Did I somehow fry it or am I missing something? Have 5volts to the harness.
Hi,and what is happening if i dont make the adaptation after cleaning the throttle valve body? Thanks
This helped a lot thanks bro!
Awesome
2003 Golf 2.0l AVH. getting P0221 Throttle/ Pedal Position Switch B circuit Range/Performance. Been having this come on every morning and having no power. Ive thrown a used throttle body and pedal position sensor at it but still have the same code. ESP light on aswell. Any pointers? thanks man, love the channel.
Same issue, 2012 Golf 2.5 here.. I'm under the impression that since the sensors are built into the throttle body itself, you would need to replace the entire throttle body assembly. How did your repair work out, interested to know.. Also, can't imaging VW offering the entire throttle body for under 500 bucks, just my luck..
Fantastic video! My beetle just threw up a p0411 code and it's the throttle body. The mechanic cleaned it and said it was still playing up and not working as it should so I've bought a replacement... I was interested in how it works and how you put it in.... This was extremely interesting
hi i install egr valve to vw golf mk5 1.6fsi and the car come on ok but idling not as smooth as it should i think it need programing it can u please let me know how to doit i know i have to go to engine messuring block 072 but dont know whats next as im very new in vcds any help please
Hi . Can you help or give me any advice to solve my problem ? I have a vw polo 00 1.0 mpi with 3 errors from throttle body , malfunction , adapt. Not started and intermitent . I already tried another tb , ecu , checked the wiring (no resistence from ecu to the plug) ... I rly dont know where is the problem , i cant adapt the tb .. the gas padle can generate this error?
While checking the OBDII check engine lite got a P0411...after rerouting the vacuum lines and retesting found the Throttle Valve Control Module making a High Pitch squeal sound, unplugged it and that's how assured it was it making the noise. What causes this squeal sound ...?? Does it need to be replaced or reset...??? Please advise.....On My 2001 VW Jetta GLS 2.8L,12V gas engine,......203k miles on her....Thanks.....oh cleared the P0411.......Randy
So if I just clean it do I still have to get it programmed?
Great video, might want to warn first timers like me that the cooling system runs though the Throttle body and you will need a ear plug when disconnecting. Saw your ear plug trick after the fact. 😅
Charles, is there any work around at all for a 1999 Passat Aeb 1.8t TB adaptation. I'm trying to switch to a chipped Ecu that has been in the car before. Few years ago. Now when I put it in there no communication with the throttle body. I don't have vag-com yet and I've tried reaching out to local enthusiasts here in Metro Detroit with no luck. The two shops I called refuse to make it a quick cheap thing. I have to make an appointment and leave it for the day even though it's a 5 minute job. Edit. With the unchipled ecu currently installed it runs smoother than butter.
Love how easy it is to replace these things.. Also having vag com helps with a vw.
Hello i recently take of my throttle body and clean it and when i was doing it i shake the throttle body and something ratteld inside the throttle body is this normal or is something broken inside because after the clean the car runs better but somethimes i still have bad response when i putt my foot down on the gas pedall

i have a problem on my touareg 2004 epc and code p1633 i hope you have answer for that please
I have a 2000 VW golf gls 2.0 liter . Question what is the part located directly under the throttle body on this engine ? The car had a rough idle , and there is a rattling noise coming from the valve cover , so I pulled the manifold off to check my plugs and wires because of idle , and I left it sit like this for a while because I had no valve cover gasket yet and I wanted to take the throttle body off as well to clean it thoroughly , so I waited for this til I could get all necessary gaskets . Anyway today I noticed a black hose just hanging there and looked at it and it snapped and left the tiny clamp and part of hose on this part directly under throttle body. There is a I'm guessing solenoid of some sort attached to firewall driver side and there is another small hose that goes into the booster hoses. Is this some sort of vacuum line that snapped and was making my car idle rough ?
I have an mk4 2.0 and am getting a P0221 code, i saw your suggestion to repin the throttle body, not able to find much on youtube in regards to that. I'm going to clean the throttle body and yet I can not find anyone who sells the throttle body connector or foot pedal sensor. any help is appreciated!
Can you program the throttle body in OBD eleven for VW?
amigo. tengo un. problem. 2007. AUDi A4. 2.0. liter. codes. p1545. me. Puede. ayudar grasia
My 2009 VW PASSAT TSI 2.0 L Turbo just began acting weird. While I'm driving the engine lights comes on and TCI as well then I cannot go pass 2 thousand Rpm on all 6 gears.
would the throttle body on my car need reprogramming after cleaning it or replacing it. ?
p2181
p0221
where the codes that pulled up after scanning for codes.
What if my gli runs better when its warm? Cold it tends to choke? Is that a sign for a cleaning?
you are savior to the modern DIY VW owner. Thank you for all of your videos! many of us would be at a huge loss if we didn't have the insight you've dedicated yourself to learning and researching about these complex vehicles.
What ever happened to VW being relatively simple, not so complicated and being an application where most people/shade tree mechanies and DIYers could do themselves?
My 09 CC, is basically an audi at this point, with the level of sophistication they bumped VW up to the premium level of Audi,. Now everything on this car takes a speclalized tech to do, who happen to work on audi.
I have a 99new vw beetle 2.0 5 speed manual and I spayed electrical connector kleener to the wires on The throttle body let it set and now the car bucks when I got it wide open to get on the highway and it is cable driven can u tell me why thanks
I have a 203 MK 4 golf 1,6 petrol sometimes when I am driving the car cuts out suddenly this sometimes happened more when the weather is worm outside , and sometimes it judders I have changed the spark plugs and the four silver tubes that attaches to the spark plugs, but the problem is still there could this be the Throttle body causing this issue?
New to VCDS...how do I find the group numbers for the VCDS? I own a 04 Volkswagen beetle and gave no throttle response. It shows it works on the system but it doesn't work my throttle body which is newly replaced and adapted...
Really need some help here, just replaced the throttle body because the EPC and Engine light came on, and it worked great for 2 weeks. But just a few days ago same thing happened, lights came back on and limp mode started. Getting P2101 and P2106 codes now. Not sure if the throttle body I got was bad (note: was remanufactured) or if I need to get a new pedal sensor. Any help? :( (also side note, when I installed the new throttle body, it said a idle speed relearn was needed, but I didn’t end up doing that cuz it worked out fine, could this be a factor)
I know this is the old video but i have problem with my 2007 vw gti i got the code p1579 adaptation not started i tried 3 different throttle body and in field 4 i got error i swapped the engine harness same thing not sure but it makes me to think its the ecu i bought the car with rod tru block so if you can help me out that will be great or point what to do
can the throttle body make my car not turn on ? We tried everything from battery to starter to jump the battery. It was giving me problems to start but now it wont start at all.
hi my car is cotavia 1.9 tdi 2005 105bhp. i ve vcds 14.10 2. in trying to alignment throttle body but code 098 0r 60 not opening it madule. any help??
Hello

Hello,i have watch your video,nice job,but in all internet o don't find some answers about this error code's: 00516 and 00668.All what i find out its that i dont have voltage on my throttle body,in the 4th gear and 5 gear,i can accelerate,its limited!please help me with some advices,thank you so much!
hi ,i aa jetta 4g 2.0 and my car start but wen pree the gas pedal the engine stop if i press the gas pedal slowly the rpm goes to 3000 rpm but no more
HumbleMechanic I've just changed the EGR valve with a new one ( original ) on a Golf 6 diesel and I'm facing problems with the RPM when the regeneration is started and I'm standing still at a traffic stop. It doesn't go to 1000rpm and stay there as it normal should until the regen is over, it fluctuates all over between 1200 and 700 rpm. Also when accelerating, power is not the same, it accelerates a bit wierd. You have any idear what could be, have you ever encountered a situation like this ?
Hello Friend I have a Passat 1.8 t 2012 There is a problem with the vehicle going downhill when in gear It seems to me a problem with the brake system is that you can help me ?? Thanks
I'm gonna remove mine to clean, since I'm getting fault codes. But, I don't have Vagcom, I have OBDELEVEN though. Would you be able to show us how to reset the throttle body using the OBDELEVEN??? Thanks!!!
hello
I have oil come from the throttle body Passat 2008 is this normal
I occasionally have the problem that the car does not react to the accelerator pedal, not bad response, not at all! It rarely happens, but it's very dangerous the other day off the freeway for a few seconds. No EPC / accelerator pedal error code stored. The throttle valve was cleaned, the ground points to the control unit were cleaned, but it still happens every few days. He recently had a P0130 O2 sensor code, but after replacing the ignition coil / cables / spark plugs everything was ok. I still replace the O2 sensor in front of the catalytic converter, because there is supposed to be a connection with the accelerator pedal sensor. I also noticed that the primary air pump no longer starts when the engine is cold. 1.6 Beetle (Motor Code BFS) I don't have VCDS, just a small OBD scanner that shows fuel trim, temperature, TO position etc.
my golf mk4 2.0 throttle valve sensor 2 G188 doesn't change when i step on the gas pedal what does that mean?
I've been watching your videos. I have a question. Car has been running fine but I was experiencing a tapping sound after a morning start and then it would go away, along with an intermittent check engine light coming on but never actually staying on longer than 60 to 90 miles. Mechanic cleaned the throttle and said to drive it for awhile and see if the check engine light comes back on, still have the tapping sound and now car sounds like it's overheating when I turn the engine off but no warning lights come on but it sounds funny and smells a little like plastic. I had them replace the catalytic converter a year ago, no work done on the car since, except for oil change but now this.
2006 Jetta 2.5.... Just a lady needing some suggestions if you can help I sure would appreciate it.
Probably somethimg wrong with ground or Plus on starter. Example on your battery. Clean all ground under battery from battery to engine engine to starter.
How do you reset the throttle body WITHOUT the VCDS program ? This is for A4 B7. Please let me know. Thank you.
Thank you! :)
I’ve replaced my throttle body with a brand new continental one and I’ve done the tsb of the connection. I’ve cleared the codes and adapted the throttle body, but I keep getting p0221 and p0123.
Runs good for about 2 minutes and then epc and esp lights come on.

Hello did you find a solution for this problem
Thanks
Gas pedal
yo man I'm having problems with a Seat Ibiza throttle body, when I start the car it runs but the revs are constantly up and down from about 1000rpm to 2000rpm. The accelerator is completely unresponsive when its like this, I have already changed 2 throttle bodies because of this and read 2 actuator faults. I am thinking that maybe there are some bad connections or problems with the throttle position sensor in the pedal box but its not very obvious. Have you seen or heard about symptoms like these?
I have a mk6 tdi and the cable on the side moves in and out at regular intervals every 3 seconds. I can’t figure out what the problem is but it stopped for a month and came back. It stutters in a particular rpm range like it’s running out of fuel but that throttle is moving back and forth no matter how I drive every 3 seconds. It’s got a check engine light on that is meant to be something about fuel system very general code
I have a problem, if you see this and can help that would be great
I have a mk5 golf gti 2L petrol
Code misfire cylinder 1
I sealed the cool with another same problem, I changes the plugs and took out and cleaned injectors and new seals,
I cleaned the maf with maf cleaner spray, and this seemed to change it a little bit still happens and same code cylinder 1,
I'm debating to buy new maf but I'll check the wiring first
Any ideas what it could be?
Sometimes but rarely it ideal a little high, use to atsll in hit starts somtiems that's gone snow,
Still get this tho when I accelerate it's bogs out sometimes struggle to exellerege smoothly car somtiems jumpy
I will add that it still acts like it's sticking, either physically or electrically, but it seems physical because it return with greater speed than it ever had on its own. The wire throttles in 2003 anyway we're a little sluggish, or maybe that's just how they are. But now i
when it unsticks, my car instantly GOES. But only for a split second and it's back to idle. No, that sounds more Electrical? I'm so confused, compounded by the tiredness and pain of trying to fix it all day. Please help.
If I have a bad throttle body will my car stall when I switch it in reverse?
thanks
I would appreciate it if you could help me with Volkswagen, where is the Passat 2010 choke?
I have no error codes but when driving sometimes the car shuts off for a second and it’s as if it bump starts itself straight back on it’s like someone is slamming the brake pedal down for a split second ?. Also I have Rev hang sometimes and if I’m driving at a steady rpm and I let off the gas and give it a quick tap and let off again there is some hesitation before the revs decelerate am I right in thinking this could be the issue ?. Any help is appreciated thanks for reading guys 😁
Hello, does this VCDS adaptation will help fix my problem?
Got a 2009 Altea tdi 2L 140 bkd and the throttle body valve was stuck due to cog had snapped inside so I replaced it for a new one and when I shut the car down sometimes it’s juddering still and sometimes it’s fine!,
Using OBD2 scanner got a p2108 code: Throttle actuator control (TAC) module - performance problem
Any idea what this could be? I’m pretty sure I can still hear the valve opening and closing though just sometimes it shudders on shut down and sometimes It doesn’t.
I have a 2002 audi A4 1.8,i think I have symptoms of a bad throttle body,not accelerating,bucking and jerking, cutting off, how can I know for sure that's what it is?
how do i do a throttle body relearn. What is the normal RPM's on a 2006 nissan altima. I Repalced throtle body and my rpms are 1500 parked. Please comment.
Dear. Eng, many thanks for your amazing videos.
I have Touareg 2008 V6 FSI Engine...I have unstable rpm in ideal position... I tried to clean the Throttle but still the problem.
Also when I turn on the A/C the RPM not increase.
is the problem from the Throttle ?
To be noted I change all spark plugs and the air filter and cleaned the mass air.
I hope you can advise me
When you turn AC rpm grown. Probably potentiometr has worn out and on higher rev work better. Or pressure sensor of power steering broken. Switch off these pressure sensor and check. put some pencil lead on the potentiometer track.use adaptation of throtlle. Check idle speed switch into throtlle.
@@StopTeoriomSpiskowym many thanks for the reply, I will try to do it soon.. is it possible to share a video ?
I appreciate your help 🙏
@@mohamedalsayaghi are you searching for answer on internet vw forums? you have FSI well. Its different story carbon build up on the valves, maybe you have too much of it. another High pressure fuel pump your fuel filter is clean? the pump work with oil (probably in yours too) at idle rpm injectors stream can not be correct (you must check in VCDS whats your fuel ratio when your problem happend).compresion is fine in all cylinders? . Another timing belt or timing chain to check. Sparks plugs to check. Coils too. Engine temperature sensor its vw failure. Leaking in intake mainfold. Lambda failure.
I disconnected the Battery while i was working on the seat. Later i connected the battery and a think i heard the throttle in learning mode for 30 sek or something. Does this mean i have self programming throttle?
It's a 2005 Beetle Convertible with a 1.6 BFS Engine. Thank you and Greetings from Germany!
It will probably be just fine.
