Coil light flashing!! Code help!

[Fuzzit7]

So the coil light keeps coming on and my scirocco 140 tdi keeps going in to limp mode,
I checked on a snap-on diagnostic machine and it came up with code P2138.
Something to do with the throttle.

Il try post the picture my friend took of the actual code and message on the screen once he has sent it me as that might be abetter help.

Any help with this would be great if anyone has had the same problem and what it actually was you did to sort it.


Thanks everyone

First thing to do is to check the connections at the throttle pedal and at the throttle body.

Ok thanks. Any idea how i would get to these? Is it easy to do.

I was told it could be one of two places but they didn't really say what to do because vw just want my money ha.

Ok so iv found out its the accelerator pedal. Im buying a whole new unit, iv read that you need a tool to remove the pedal unit. Is it easy to do with a scredriver Nd how is it actually done?

Thats true but i like people that do some research themselves.
When i Googled vw pedal removal the first hit was a very detailed description with pictures and everything.
There is so much you can find yourself.
