G188 error for my TFSI Sport :(
« on: August 04, 2013, 09:28:35 pm »
Hello all! not posted in awhile since all I do is lurk but thought I share my recent fault event!

17579 - Angle Sensor 2 for Throttle Actuator (G188) Implausible Signal

Dreaded TB!!!
06 TFSI Sport APR K04 tuned (100k+ Miles, WaterMeth/Spacer fitted)
Regardless if I am running map or stock it will throw me down to limp mode along with stuck on "EPC light"
It was on revision G (Siemens VDO) until it broke, I tried using a 2nd had revision "J" Continental VDO... Sadly still getting the same error :(

Tempted to try out a 2nd "Q" Latest revision and see if it will resolve the problem.

Problem fixed

Went from:-
06F 133 062 G (30-12-05) Siemens (Came with the Leon TFSI Sport 06)
to
06F 133 062 J (03-03-10) Continental (Brought from eBay not too long ago, failed & will be returning back)
to the latest...
06F 133 062 Q (10-05-120 Continental (Brought from eBay again, but this time success working fine!)

Fitted the throttle body this morning and it has solved my EPC issue, seems like Q is the way to go...

Hope this helps!
