I have an 03 2.0 dti Signum, and the engine management light keeps coming on
(3 times in the last week), and the engine switching to limp home mode
(until I turn the ignition off and on again). I took it to the local garage
to get teh codes read, and they said it gave a throttle position discrepancy
code. He said their kit did not go into detail or carry out any kind of
testing, and a VX dealer would be able to. There are several things it
could be, and his only way of diagnosing would be to throw expensive parts
at it one at a time.
Is there a common fault on these engines? I have noticed a distinct lag
(like turbo lag) recently, and am thinking it is either the actuator
becoming weak, or the throttle being sticky/gummed up, just like my old
favourite the idle control valve off my R reg veccy. Is stickyness usually
the case, or is it a replacement job (I know VX replace ICV rather than
clean them out).
