The wiring appears to be perfect, so I'm beginning to suspect the
throttle body. Second hand ones are around for £45, against £95-140 for
a new item - does anyone know if it's a major pain in the neck to swap
one of these? If it is, it's going to a man what knows...

I've had the TB off our Lupo (1.4 AFK) to clean it, and it was dead easy-
take off the airbox, then 4 bolts and one multi-plug. You'll want a new
rubber seal for it.

Right then. Sounds like time for a new to me TB and find a man to reset
the stepper. There's no cheap way of doing it without forking out for full
vag com is there?
Doh I wish I read the full thread lol. Some peeps in the know reckon driving
the car around for a while will reset the throttle settles, as it re-learns
it from your driving, but it runs like a bag of spanners whilst doing so.

To my dismay theres never a cheap way of doing sod all these days on car
lol. I've been stung many times with car problems.
