I see what you're theory is but I also wonder if there is a pressure relief spring that is getting weak when hot Badger 5 Bill any thoughts on this scenario?..

Maybe oil temps I suppose, I may just fit a new oil pump and check strainer just seems weird if I switch it off for a few seconds and back on its almost normal!..

Have the same problem! Just fitted an external oil gauge and get 2bar at idle on normal driving, and up to 4 bar on rising rpm but, after a hard 1-2-3-4 oil pressure drops to 2bar and doesn't rise, however if I turn the motor off and then back on oil pressure comes back to near normal (Pressure...

Bill sorted mine and made it very responsive and a decent power throughout the range although I should have port matched the turbo to manifold for even better flow

Right the problem is now sorted thank god! Massive thanks to Wak from the TT forum who vagcommed my S3 and tracked the limp mode/throttle prob to a wire by the boost gauge pipe that had been pinched and was broken hence not allowing the correct voltage to the relevant throttle requirements...

Cheers Ash I'm on it at the mo and will check back with you as I have been told that when you change the throttle pedal you must do a throttle adaptation via Vagcom which is something I havnt done

Ok cheers for the shout but I think I will need to interrogate the ECU whilst driving but will see what happens...

Thanku will do!

Hi All Has anyone got Vagcom in Heathrow area (or around will travel) that can check a fault on my 2001 S3 please?.. Cheers Frank

So have swapped out pedal, but still have epc error the second I touch the pedal, am going to check ECU connections (once I know where to look!)

That may be the best route if a new pedal doesn't work thanks Will speak to you next Monday Bill Frank

Yes, I have posted on his page so hopefully he can come up with some info/solution one way or another At least now I can change throttle pedals in 10 mins lol!

Anyone know if there are relays that operate the throttle control at all?..

Okay just swapped throttle body with my sons AMK and getting the same error codes grrrr!

They seem interchangeable, have swapped back to my old pedal and it does the same thing going to change the TB with my sons S3 today but not confident to be honest! The code is P2122 Switch D Circuit low input (beginning to think my ECU is trucked!) it's got a Badger 5 remap on it which I don't...
