Hi folks. Need some help... Replaced my throttle body due to a code showing a problem. I had driven with it for a few weeks with the light on, then one day it wouldn't start. I had it towed in. My mechanic said I'd need to take to to VW to get it reset after. Car started fine but still had check engine light showing code P1582. I'll add the mechanic had it a couple weeks because I ordered the wrong part first go round. He said it started every time he tried it.
VW ran the "adapt" program after we put in the new part, light went out and they said it was fine. I went out to leave the dealership and it wouldn't start. Turns but no spark. Chk engine light came back on. VW mechanic says the program doesn't always take so he redid it and it worked.
However, I went to get gas 20 min later and when I started the car and drove out the gas station the light came back on...
At home, my driveway is slanted like 45 degrees (or whatever, but steep). The day I had it towed it was parked there and wouldn't start. Tonight, same thing. I pushed it to level ground and it started right up...
No other codes but P1582, although when I first took it in to my mechanic he said it had 4 codes as possibles (don't know what they were).
VW is trying to say the Bosch part isn't a VW part and so the "adapt" won't take. That's got to be BS. I've been putting Bosch in VWs since the 70s. The part looks EXACTLY like the throttle body I took out. Plus, I'm pretty sure the original wasn't bad since the same scenario occurred with it and without it...
ANY ideas?
Thanks
