Smiccers Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 My 06 A4 has throttle issues. Slight shaking of the car when idle. Also when driving gently the response of throttle is juddering and delayed any advice would be appreciated. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 My advice would be to get a diagnostic check varied out. Rough running could be caused by a failing maf Sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiccers Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Thank you for the reply Steve. I bought the car with eml on the first thing was glow plug 3 so fixed. Then throttle actuator popped up. Mechanic looked at throttle body and said this looks very new. Then mentioned it could be an after market part. In fairness the throttle body looks absolutely brand new. I did a little you tubing and some say egr and throttle body both need replacing. I'm totally green to mechanics but it's seeming kinda costly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiccers Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Readapt? Sorry Steve I'm unsure what that means. I love my audi's I've had a few. It's only an 06 but I want to look after it and get the most out of looking after it. Maybe the mechanic isn't audi enough eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiccers Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Just to be clear Steve. I never had this throttle body fitted. It was already in the engine when I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, ask your mechanic if he has the equipment to do the readapting process try that first it is possible the previous owner did not do this, as you seem to report no other codes with regard to the EGR unless you have a flag for it leave all alone, it may be that if the adaptation won't work it could be a Chinese special from eurocarparts, educate your self and go on youtube and plumb in VAG throttle body adaptation and you will see what I am on about.
