Hi all,
I have had a nitemare of a day with the throttle body in my leon 1.6 16v (54).
The car went in to have the throttle body cleaned out. The mechanic removed the engine cover and sprayed the solution into the throttle body, he did not remove the throttle, just sprayed directly inside it, he allowed the solution to do its job and also opened the butterfly valve to allow the solution to pass through, it was a lot of solution that went down there, he then wiped the outer casing of the throttle body and popped the cover back on and started the car.
The car was very reluctant to start but eventually did. A lot of fumes came out of the exhaust and the mechanic said this was the solution getting the dirt out.
As soon as he accelerated the car, the engine management light came on and the epc light. The car started to idle like crazy up and down.
After a long drawn out day with the car eventually going through vag-com and having the throttle body re-aligned, the car was throwing up the following fault codes again and again:
17961 P1553
17912 P1504
I have replaced the MAF / Thrust sensor (Part no: 036-906-051) from GSF, but still to no avail.
The car is idiling up and down like crazy, I have tried to take the car for a blast and the same thing, car losses power and full foot on acceleration leads to the car not going anyware!!
Could someone please shine some light on my problems.
Thanks
