It's cool. That's what they thought mine was. But it turned out it wasn't. Then they charged me £350 for it. But checked my wiring tho. They then said the throttle body was the fault. So changed that myself. Now that they still come on I think it's to do with the wheel speed sensor. But mine goes off after about 1hour rest. Hopefully it's nothing serious as I want to start tuning.

Tried PMing you mate

I'm glad I'm not the only one having issues, I'm a bit reluctant to try out things with the hope it fixes it as it's costing me money already down 300 for the throttle body which it didn't need lol
Not got a pm yet

I didn't buy a brand new one. Screw that. I bought a 2nd one from eBay and fitted that. Came with 3 month warranty. So not to bad. Only paid £35 lol.

It wouldn't let me send it lol.

Send me and email if you want?

I'm thinking of trying the spark plugs when I'm paid. Not even sure what kind I have in lol.

That's could be why it won't let you receive haha

Mine can't be spark plugs as had brand new Bosch ones fitted last week with it's service, really banging my head against the wall with it, so many things that seem to be expensive. Are you on Facebook

Yes, my throttle body packed in. I could drive really gently to prevent limp mode cutting in but sometime it was unavoidable.

Alex at AKS tuning fitted me a new throttle body and it has been perfect since. Several people have tried used TBs, to have the problem return straight away.

Cheers. So a new one is the only solution? I put a used one on and it only puts it into limp mode when I accelerate in 6th gear lol. And sometimes 3rd from a crawl

What's the difference with a revision Q one as I had a brand new Siemens throttle body fitted and I'm still having the problem, it was fine for 1 day then all the vaults came up
