Re: Vag result (vtecths)
Clear the codes. Do a throttle body adaptation. See if they come back.

Throttle Acutator Malfunction 17988
and
MAF sensor signal too high 16487
what do they mean, is my throttle body defective, do i need a new one? and is the MAF sensor reading too high because of the throttle body?
any help is greatly appriciated

VW published a Tech Bulletin (which we could read if they had an open tech support site) that addressed cleaning MAF. Spray with "nonresidue electronic cleaner" (trichlorathane). I used Brakecleen by CRC (chlorinated version) which is trichlor. VW warns not to spray too close, use compressed air to dry, or touch MAf with anything since its delicate. After spraying, I installed retrofit kit to prevent oil from coating MAF from the PCV system. Two years later, all is well! http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

I had the same code come up in my car for almost two years. I spent over a grand trying to diagnose and fix it. I replaced the MAf and the after cat O2 sensor with no luck. I had a mechanic i knew at VW take a look at it and he said it needed a new throttle bodie because the TPS or something was malfunctioning. I had it replaced and haven't had a code come up since then.[HR][/HR]
how much for the new throttle bodie?
