tuba Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Bought a 2012 A3 Petrol end of Jan, and at the end of Feb car wasn't turning on. Long crank and then doesn't turn on. Car works fine for short journeys but seems like when the car runs for longer than 25/30 mins and I turn it off, it won't turn back on for another few hours. Three times the car stopped working mid-journey. It loses speed and eventually stalls and turns off. Changed coolant temp sensor, crankshaft sensor, throttle body but none of these are fixing the issue. The computer diagnostic system says the below but despite changing the throttle body, these errors are still coming up Throttle control unit malfunction Throttle actuator electrical & mechanical fault Could possibly be a fuel issue? How do I diagnose this without changing yet another part without being sure. I've been working with my dad and his mechanic friend on this but nothing is working.

Steve Q Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Could it be a cam sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuba Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Is this the same as crankshaft sensor? If so, we've already tried changing this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
