Have any other members here had a similar problem? I have a 2004 Octavia 1.9 tdi 130 and when driving along the throttle will cease to work no matter how much you move the pedal. I find that on dipping the clutch the engine drops to tickover and after a second or two I can re-engage the clutch and drive normally. Occasionally when this happens on dipping the clutch the engine will stop. When this happens I have to turn the engine off and restart, it wont restart by letting out the clutch and "bump-starting" it. This has had me tearing my hair out and I would be interested if any one else has come across this and how they cured it.

you need a scan of your fault codes and also to check live data to see whats what. it could be the pedal, but checking it in live data you will be able to test it.
