Reduced Engine Performance
Driving home last night I got "Reduced Engine Performance" message pop up on my 58 plate C30 1.6 petrol.
Got codes read this morning at a specialist garage and it came back with throttle position sensor. The garage said they will look for a new part and booked in next Thursday. Since being read the fault has not returned. Is it possible that the fault flagged up as the car was having a funny do and being ready by the DICE has cleared this "fault"? I've driven over 30 miles since and it has not come back yet. |

before you spend some crazy money on new part, do this trick:
clean the insides of throttle body literally, take hose off of it (the one coming from turbo), get a wipe (lint free) and wipe all the crud that you see off. some would use spray i used cloth you do as you please an example here: https://youtu.be/41yFXjibtLY is the fault persists after this, THEN take it to garage egain

When it happened to my tdi v70 it needed a new throttle pedal.

If that's the case then I will have to make sure that they either get a matching one or remove the metal pad from the existing one and fit it to the new one. |
