Scirocco Central

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.

Here is the code and info if this helps and makes sense to anyone

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?

Any help will be great guys as il be odering in today and really want my car back on the road!

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.

I did try search my self but i just couldn't find what i was looking for but now iv seen this and had a read and managed to take it off today ready for when the new one comes tomorrow! Thanks for your help. Much appreciated!

Can not wait to get back in my car!
