Accelerator pedal idle issue

Featured Replies

Hi, I found a few links on Briskoda about 'sticky throttle/accelerator pedal'

Lifting the accelerator pedal with foot under it does lower the revs from 1000 back to 800.

 

It is unclear how to repair?

 

- Someone has put an 'English spring' - drilling a small hole on the pedal and attaching spring to retract the pedal (saves lifting with foot).

- Replacement with second hand units or new - Apparently fit and forget. I have replaced brake pedal switch some years ago on same car.

- Throttle body in engine bay (is this the anti shudder valve ASV?) near EGR 

- Lubricating (someone suggested silicone - I wouldn't use silicone - it is an insulator and will prevent electrical contact) pedal.

 

Will a new pedal solve this issue and any ideas on a dealer sourced part cost? Suggestions (guide)?

 

Thanks

It does sound like the pedal unit is faulty.

Thanks for that. I will give dealer a call.
