Thank you for this! It helped us pinpoint and fix the issue we had on a VW Up! 1.0 MPI, thus avoiding the need to replace the entire unit. Keep up the good work!!
You are an absolute legend! Had the exact same error codes and found the exact faulty wire Resoldered all 4 wires with new ones and problem solved🎉. If you were in Sydney Australia I'd shout you a steak dinner .Cheers mate.
@@bobbo5638 😬👍 nice one.
My Golf had the P0222 code and I watched a lot of videos about the solution but your video helped to me with the real solution, I had already done a visual check of the sensor and I saw everything fine until I saw your video and surprise, all the wires were desoldered. Thank you so much, you took me away a big headache, my car is working fine now. Greetings from Mexico. Cheers.
Great 👍, It still puzzles me that the wires are so delicate and small in such a harsh environment.
Hola Leonardo. Oye como soldaste en la parte de metal... No del lado de la tarjeta sino en las laminitas de metal? Ya que lo intento y simplemente el estaño no pega solo se cae. Espero me puedas ayudar. Saludos
$25k me sale la reparación en la agencia 😡…..me quieren trabar con cambiar el cableado también que porque marca poca resistencia……
Excellent fault finding skills, I also have a problem with idle fluctuating.
Sooooo many thanks for this video! Solved my problem as well. Greetings from Kenya 🇰🇪
That's great 👍😁
Thank you for sharing this, I've been scratching my head over this issue today and this was the problem! Just soldered in replacement 10a fuse wire in place of those flimsy wires and it now drives perfectly. Thank you!
That's handy 😁👍
Thank you for your contribution. I have already fixed mine with a 10a fuse wire as well. Any idea why the flimsy original wire? Is it intended not to last longer and replace the TPS?
Hey bro honestly a BIG thanks to you honestly i started having some issues with my car the starting of February 6 and saw your vid like a day after i wanted to check it but didn't until yesterday i got frustrated with having to use public transport and i took off the throttle body and one of the wires had become loose got it soldered and bro everything is good the gas is even burning les fuel honestly thank you im gonna share your link in my vw groups 😊
Nice one - no more getting the bus 👍😁
I just had this unit fail on my 2016 Golf 7 Sportsvan, I was 600km from home in another province. I had to get it towed to a nearest VW dealer, where they diagnosed this unit as the fault. I stripped it, same as the 1 in your hands, all good mechanically, also noticed the less than hair thin wires, but did not attempt to do any checks as yet, until I was back home with access to my tools. For signal wires, it is very strange to have wire that thin in place, but, I am quite sure there was either a good engineering design reason or a product management decision involved, reliability vs money from selling replacement units every 100000 km.
Stripped unit again and, yep, mine had 3 of the 4 wires loose, the wires seem to be spot/tack welded similar to how they connect up lithium batteries. Crazy VW charged me R16000 incl diagnostics, labour, new part. 😢
Thank you very much for the video and clear explanation! You saved me! I was about to order a new throttle. Had exactly the same problem.
Nice 👍😬
I tried this and it work for a little then the issue came back. But I noticed that there was some green non-conductive residue from the pcb on the metal contactor seen at 4:38. I wiped it away with rubbing alcohol and it worked again after verifying with a multimeter!
@@kylemontrose9332 good job 👍😁
I know this is an old post, but if you could please let me know where you set the Multimeter? I cant seem to find a reading? Ohms? V? Thanks
Top job Ian 👍👍👍 Those wires looked like they were made to break, very thin cheers mate
Crazy that something that is so fragile is in such a harsh environment and can stop the vehicle in its tracks.
Thank you, excellent video
@@ianreynolds9693 👍😁
Many, Many thanks Sir for this quick and easy fix!!!
Unfortunately mine lasted only one day, possibly due to extreme Hot that we have these days.
Again I repeated the soldering and now is working fine again. However, I ordered a new Throttle Position Sensor (cost 220€) in case this fail again and will eventually solder the old with Silver type soldering that has double the melting point of Lead & equivalents.
Nevertheless you save me from VW Service Tooth bite and this is the most crucial thing here. and of course the quick fix time.
Many thanks from Greece.
Thankyou, I'm heading to Greece in a few weeks. Looks hot there 🥵🥵.
Great video
You are very good my friend
@@ΓιαννηςΑλεξ-π6ο 😁👍
Thanks! Using your video I was able to fix my problem. Tip for others.. Replace all the wires with new wire.. I'm sure the originals are designed to fail. Being so tiny and fragile attached to a vibrating engine sure isn't smart design.
As you say it looks like fragile design. I hope aircraft engines don't have parts like that in them 😯.
What wiring did you use? Gonna check my throttle body this week.
Similar wires inside esp lateral acceleration sensor but sensor with board itself is glued to suspension pods due to nature of sensor, little flexible aluminium wires making sense, also not possible to solder with regular soldering station. I'm am suprise they make this in tps.. In older vehicles plain potentiometer recommended test by oscilloscope or just multimeter for resistance when slowly moving. In Your case without 5v power supply and oscilloscope not possible to test this type. Much more reliable design compare to regular potentiometer..Good job specially when throttle may cost half value of car. Just cleaned BMW E46 2.8 potentiometer and may help for some time, new one £600 at dealer..
Thank you for sharing. Solved my issue
Nice one 😁👍
Thank you very much, I fixed the problem in your issue.
Excellent 👌👍
Good fix there, the wires look like the Achilles heel of the throttle body
Certainly do. Saving weight & money no doubt.
Thank you You, did a great job thanks to you that I learned a lot. Your video clips are very helpful
Thanks for comments 👍😁
Thank you so much. I have already fixed mine with a 10a fuse wire, as described by another user. Any idea why Magneti Marelli used that flimsy wire? Could it be made like this not to last and replace the TPS at some point?
Now I see such wires I can not stop thinking about what would have happened if these wires failed while passing a car on the route with another car coming from the other direction. It is almost hazardous !!!
Like most things - it normally comes down to money 💰💰.
Saludos desde Mexico, gracias encontre lo mismo pero fue el pin 1, reforzare los otros. From Mexico city, I found the same thing for the pin 1, will add welding-reinforce the others , many thanks
muchas gracias 😁👍
Thanks a lot!!!
Thanks 😁👍
Nice fix 👍
Well hopefully this has fixed mine. Had it resolder for £10 and no issues and no EPC or engine light so far. Fingers crossed.
Just weird for the car to randomly throw up every code going when it was driving fine the day before.
Do you know anything about low rpm car vibrating, just happens at random. Other than that car has no issues.
very good video it real helped me alot , one question after fixing the throttle body putting on back on the car do i need to reset the throttle body or it will work just fine without?
It should work ok but I normally clean the butterfly and reset through basic settings using the VCDS tool or equivalent. 👍
@@Automotive_Solutions thnx will try vcds
Hello great video an explanation. I have repaired one 7 months ago. But now I want to repait another one with the same problem. To me it is really hard when I welding new wire. I dont know why the welding dont match with the metal part. Can you tell me the material you use yo weld new wires please.
I used a single strand of a multi core cable to match the thickness of the original wire.
@@Automotive_Solutions Thanks for your response. But when I apply the welding to the metal not the green card. To the metal terminal it just not match and only drops like a rain drop. Do you use a special welding? Or u only use tin
@@edergarcia5938I normally use Solder Wire Lead Free with Rosin Core Flux.
Nice video
Top top , thanks for sharing
obrigado por compartilhar seus conhecimentos. Um abraço do Brasil
Teşekkürler aracımda ki arızayı sayenizde çözdüm
İyi haberler. Geri bildiriminiz için teşekkür ederiz. 👍
ariza tam olarak nedir.
bendede gazi tam yememe sagirlik gibi bir durum var.
Cheer's for sharing
Thanks for taking the time to watch. 👍
Done the repair twice but it keeps having the same problem after a 20km drive
Tsi golf mk6 code p012b ,, solution sir
Excellent video. Currently have a 2018 Passat 1.4 TSI in limp mode and rough idle. Of course, it's only weeks past end of warranty and dealer wants to charge.
Getting code P0638 (Throttle Actuator Range/Performance), EPC light, engine management light. Possibly the same issue as in your video. Have ordered a new throttle body, and will confirm if this fixes the issue. Will inspect old part for damage. Family car, has only done 26K miles.
What age/mileage was the part in your video if you don't mind me asking?
Can't remember exactly but around 40,000 and 6 or 7 years old
@@Automotive_Solutions Thanks. As mentioned, this part is not fit for purpose. I love my VW's, but it's not a company that makes good its mistakes. This part has been fitted to literally millions of VAG models, so they really should exercise some customer service goodwill. Unless you have Parkinson's, this part shouldn't fail so quickly.
@@ottofumbler7267 all the manufacturers are under pressure to reduce weight and meet emission targets so this is the result. Not many vehicles around built like they're aiming for longevity. Good luck with your problem 👍
@@Automotive_Solutions Emissions... yes, that's a tricky one. Never owned a diesel, so thankfully I didn't get stung with that dodgy scheme they were running. Until full electric cars and the energy networks have their game sorted, I'm sticking with small petrol engines.
All the extra weight is in safety & occupant protection systems, as I understand. So, we can be safe, or we can be green. I know what I'd rather be. Driving standards seem to be falling, so it's a no-brainer in my world. Maybe we'll have the luxury of both one of these days, but it's going to cost us.
Sustainability. That's the word I was looking for! If you can repair and maintain (as per your video so elegantly illustrates), then this will have a huge impact on the way we buy cars. Too many "sealed units" being put into new cars, and not enough end-user technical support from manufacturers.
Example: broken headlight on a Merc, but it's just the holding brackets. Common fault. Options are buy new headlight, buy used headlight, or Merc sell a bracket repair kit... but they don't provide documentation to show how to fit. Makes no sense to me, other than they're trying to drum up business for the dealerships.
Very interesting... Looks far to delicate in design to be fit for purpose. Nice fix. Your voice instantly reminds me of Steve Jones.. Sex Pistols guitarist. (Hope that does not offend, certainly none intended) Thx & Cheers
Cheers. I'll have to Google him to see the comparison. 😊
