Hey,

I have a 2004 A3 1.6, every so often the epc and traction lights comes on and the car go's into limp mode. When I turn the car off and back on and it clears it and it might not happen again then for a few weeks. Then it might happen 3/4 times while I'm driving an hour down the road. I had my mate plug the car into his comp and get the fault codes. So hoping someone might have an idea what might be causing it. I have noticed that the wire loom going to the throttle body had been cut and reconnected just before it plugs into the throttle body, the last owner had cut and rejoined for what I don't know. but the connections look ok.


Thanks in advance.
