Default Throttle no longer working

Hello to all.

Dropped the Mrs off at the train station, driving back and my EPC light came on. Drove about 300ft more, throttle stopped working. Was on a hill round the corner from mine so I rolled home. Left it for 20 mins, had a Google, started it back up and got into 3rd gear - throttle stopped (EPC light was still on).

Had a look around, online through forums etc, a lot of folks are saying its the throttle position sensor, its dead and needs replacing.

My diagnostic port isn't visible, maybe pushed up under the dash, may have been removed but I can't use the reader. Gonna ring Audi tomorrow, get an idea of what I can do regards the port and the issue with the throttle.

Any help/guidance is massively appreciated, cheers.

Without a scan it's tough to offer any advice. Although year and engine would be helpful.
