Hi Ally,

Welcome to the group. Price of the throttle sensor is exhorbitant. Until Marc pointed out it was a fly by wire throttle, I hadn't known. With the injection pump being under a plastic cover I hadn't noticed the absence of a throttle cable - doh. Learn something new every day.

I have vag-com 409.1 and Audi-VWTool Version2.0.9.exe to read, reset and programme the ECU, what I don't have is a data cable to connect PC to the OBD connector.

If you or anyone else were able to lend me a cable or suggest where I can buy one cheap, or how to make one I will try and figure out what causes the problem.

Peter
