Re: 008465 Throttle Valve stuck open - advice please.

Just done a search & your fault code is the same as p2111 which is what i had. I think vw wanted around £300 & they are anything from £120-£250 on ebay. I was lucky & got a used one of a 20k salvaged audi
a4 For £70 & its been fine. I will get the part number of mine tomorrow.

Re: 008465 Throttle Valve stuck open - advice please.

Hi, the part number for the throttle body should be 03L-128-063 C. It is easy to locate it. Anything with the same number but ending in B D E G K AL is all the same. If you search throttle valve on here & skip to page 3 you will see my old topic on it.

Hi, the black connector at the front of the engine is the one you need to check.

Re: 008465 Throttle Valve stuck open - advice please.

Pop the engine cover off & at the front of the engine in the centre there is a fat pipe. The top of the pipe is connected to the throttle body. There is only one connector on it. The throttle body is bolted in the front of the egr. If u cant find it i will post a pic up for you.

Re: 008465 Throttle Valve stuck open - advice please.

Disconnect the electrcal connector from the throttle body & if its full of oil clean it all out & it will be ok for a few weeks. If it is full of oil then you need a new throttle body. The hot oil from the egr melts the seals awsy. I replaced mine with the audi variant that has metal seals. ...

A good start would be looking at the very low milage examples on ebay. This would put yours around the £800 - 1200 mark. Now if it were a mg metro turbo it would be nearer the 5k mark & if it were an early turbo like a Y,A or B reg then nearer the 10k mark. Unfortunatly when it comes to a bog s...

Not sure what he means by that. But your dead right. Your not a mechanic or a dealer so buyer beware. Its as simple as that. This is why the aa/rac inspection is there for.
