After a week at the dealer for a throttle body replacement on my 24 Golf R ( flashing check engine, loss of power) the service advisor called and told me the engine needs to be replaced (at 9k miles!)

I am doing the same thing right now to replace my throttle body (apparently the electronics or mechanism are toast). I have removed the throttle body a few times and it is one of my least favorites.

Cons: one of my least favorites

My 3.6 Passat has a similar noise for all of its 225k miles, and two engines... May not be what you're hearing but it goes through a throttle body alignment after the car is turned off.

Pros: throttle body alignment
Cons: similar noise

I want to clean my throttle body today. BUT how imperative is it that you re adapt the throttle body with vagcom. because i have read that it will re adapt itself. My throttle body inside has a nice black ring so i think its time to do this.

VW found a problem with the throttle body and replaced that under a California emissions warranty, and I also did a trans flush. It shifts a lot better now, but still some weird shifts esp. between 2-3 and 6-5.

Pros: shifts a lot better
Cons: still some weird shifts

the throttle body is the most common issue when it comes to the EPC light on the FSI and TSI engines, I dont know why but Volkswagen installed these ****ty little wire sensors (6) into the throttle body to measure various things, mostly oil and gasoline vapor.

Pros: great quick fix
Cons: cheap non plated wires

So I have had issues with random throttle valve pressure drop codes and rough running and limp mode. Also the car likes to randomly idle high, 1200rpm high. I also had loud boost hissing noise when boosting, sounds like a boost leak. Test drove car and it is amazing ,the car boosts quick now and I dont have the loud hissing noise when boosting (prob the throttle plate malfunctioning)

Pros: car boosts quick
Cons: loud hissing noise

I was going to tell you to clean the throttle body for the idle problem, but it looks like you already did. It worked for me, but I had a lot of junk built up in the ICV. It took a couple weeks for the idle to come back down to normal.

Pros: worked for me
Cons: idle came back slowly
Vehicle: Volkswagen
