Throttle body fault

My Octavia 1.6 LX races while idle with revs cyling between 1500 and 2500. Do I need a new throttle body or can it be fixed?

Might well just need the tb resetting, need dealer diag equipment or VAG COM for this though.

My Felicia's 1.6 engine did that when a throttle cable clip came off and was put back on without resetting the throttle body. Resetting with a 1551 cured the problem.

Can you tell me more about VAG COM?

It is diagnostic software which, when used with a laptop and a suitable interface lead, does much of what a dealer's diagnostic computer does (although the latest diagnostic computer is probably in a different league). Have a look at Ross-Tech's site below for more information on what it will and won't do.

If your problem is the same as the one I had, it can be sorted out by a dealer in minutes rather than hours.
