oil pan problem help asap

I assume the throttle body is at the other end of the air pipe to the MAF sensor. This looks a little more complicated than the MAF but I think I'll be able to do it. Thanks again for the info and I'll post a reply asap.

Word of warning though, if you attempt to do the throttle body yourself, is that when the throttle body is put back in, it NEVER goes in the same place, and the ECU needs to be calibrated bvia the VAG COM interface. TThis needsto be set to basic setting 98. If you dont do this, every time the car approcahes idle it could well stall, since the computer thinks the throttle body is in a different position.

If you can calivbrate it, then it's not too much of a job, otherwise, best to take it to a garage.

Removing and refitting the throttle body is not a major issue, and you are right it is at the other end of the pipe.

I've checked as many of the hoses as I can and they look okay, although this does'n't mean that it's not a hose.

Your right about the throttle body replacement being a garage job. Thought that when I looked at it that it might need something else.

My only concern is that I seem to be throwing a few pennies at this car.
I was hoping the MAF sensor would of been a quick fix. Obviously not and should be noted to all with similar issues the same.

I'll keep you posted.
