IT WORKED!!!!!!! The broken wire was never properly attached, just soldered in place then covered with black tape. The pin broke as I tried to get the old wire out, but an ebay member selling the whole plug connector, pins etc, was only a 15 minute drive away. The lights now off and hasn't come back on after about 10 start ups, so fingers crossed, it did it. Thanks ever so much for your advice and knowledge. I know where to come in the future.

You can see the red is broken into number 4, and there's no wire protection, just bit of black tape.

Just checked the wiring connector, and the blue wire, far right of the connector, isn't connected. The brother in law has the tools so hopefully an easy fix.

P.S When this part was replaced, should it have been calibrated or is it just a straight swap out?

Cheers Wino. Much appreciated. I'll update once we've checked things.

Hi Wino. That would be great. I'm utterly clueless so will be showing the details to my brother in law who is the family genius. Just looked at the wiring and it looks a bit bodged, black tape badly wound, no protection for the wiring.

That's what confused me as diesels dont have throttle bodies, but loads of sites mention the throttle body and the garage receipt states it too. I assume that is the Anti Shuter Valve you mentioned. There is no EGR delete too. The P2100 code comes up on the reader as ' Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit/Open...??? As I said before, once started, you can delete the code and the light stays off. You can turn off and fire up again and its fine, but leave it longer than about 5-10 seconds and it lights up upon starting.

My mistake. Several sites said number 8 but I checked 24 ( engine electronics ).

Hi all. Ive just bought my first Skoda Fabia VRS 1.9 TDI on an 07 plate, and its amazing. The dealer gave me an amazing deal as there was an engine management light on. The code is P2100. If i delete the code whilst the engine is running, the light stays off. I can stop and start a few times, then upon starting after a 30 seconds or more gap, it comes on again. Performance is still great but I've nothing to compare it too. MPG over 70 miles on motorways and A roads was 64 so pretty good. Fuse F8 has been checked and is OK but if any other fuses could be the cause, let me know. The throttle body has been replaced and the problem has been there for 38,000 miles/ 2 half years, so not a major problem. Has anyone experienced this before and had any luck solving it? Thanks. Jools.
