Audi A3 S-Line 2.0 TFSI
I've been having trouble with my Audi A3 2009 2.0T Tfsi. The last few months my EPC light keeps coming on randomly which puts my car into limp mode. I've taken it to a garage who have diagnosed the problem to be the throttle angle sensor inside the throttle body.
I've had the throttle body and some wiring replaced but this has not solved the problem it actually seems to have gotten worse. Now the limp mode is annoying but bearable but now sometimes when the light comes on my car has no power what so ever I can barely get up to 5mph and on a roundabout that's scary and dangerous. I'm also now getting the engine management light occasionally as well as the EPC light. If I turn the engine off and on again the EPC light will go off for a while and then come back on when it wants to.
The garage have told me that the ECU might need replacing and I'm not sure if that's true or they just want more money out if me.
Can anyone help as I can't afford a new ECU.
