Please help!?
I have a A4 1.9TDI 2001.
About six months ago whilst driving on the motorway, my accelerator pedal just died on me (glow lamp and the triangle with ! inside came up on dash) The engine stayed running and everything else in the car was fine (Lights, heater, etc etc) My local garage put it on diags and came up with a fault with the Throttle Potentiometer and replaced it (audi part). A month or so later same thing happened again but this time they said it was a sensor??? Last week it happened again now this time they said that they were baffled apart from when they have been speaking to audi they say that sometimes water can get in and cause an intermittant fault??? Strangely on each occasion i have had the AA tow me to my garage and each time they say by the time they start looking at the car it drives ok?
Unfortunately i am a completly ignorant when it comes to fixing cars but has anyone else come across this type of thing?
:confused:
