Hi all, tearing my hair out trying to sort my A4 B6, with BDV 2.4 V6 engine. Bought the car last month, knowing it needed a clutch and DMF. Changed these, and now the car will start, idle but not respond to the throttle.
Had a mate swing by with a Snap On diagnostic code reader, and he was getting nonsense readings- voltage all over the place, all six injectors showing open circuit etc, and nothing reported when the throttle was depressed.
It sounds like a bad earth, or a trapped loom, as some have reported, but I don't recall removing/disturbing any earths on the gearbox, and can't see any wires that are trapped or loose.
Checked the ECU for water damage, and it's spotless.
I'm situated near Windsor, Berks, if anyone knows an Audi wizard near me.
Any clues would be great, I've never been totally stumped before!!! (but never been anywhere near a car with drive-by-wire throttle...!!!)
