HI I HAVE A 2006 AUDI A8L .... MY epc LIGHT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRIANGLE SIGN FOR TRACKING I THINK CAME ON TOGETHER ,,,, WHEN I SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND RESTART IT THE EPC AND TRIANGLE SIGN WILL GO AWAY BUT THEN SOMETIMES COMES BACK WHILE DRIVING.... CEL STAYS ON ... BUT ON SOME STARTS THE CEL GOES AWAY TOO ... I READ THE CODE WITH SCANNER AND ITS p0221 ... THE GUY AT THE parts store says it the the throttle position sensor but he could not find one in his computer .... said i might need to buy whole new throttle body ? is tht true and is that whts wrong with the car ?

also whenever the epc light comes on with the triangle sign i loose power as if the car is not running properly i can still go upto 70mph but it goes slow

help pls thanks


could someone tell me where is the throttle positon sensor or throttle body located on this car

thank you

You need VCDS scan. It will tell much more than only that one code.

Hello Liljoey,
You do realize that this thread is from 2014, and dildildil has not been active for the last 15 months...
Being you state that you have the same codes as the OP, did you check either G187 or G188, it seems you have done everything but.

dildildil

I am still alive haha, but yes this sounds familiar the issue is with this module somewhere i believe you can either buy a new/used one and program to ur car or get urs repaired

I had this exact issue. Ended up replacing the throttle body with an ebay one. Since then it hasn't surfaced.
