Re: EPC light, no throttle, P2101 code

Since I solved the problem I thought I would update the thread in case it might help someone else, turns out the issue was a dirty MAP-sensor. I initially suspected the throttle body or gas pedal was the cause since it kept throwing up throttle body related codes but I did remove the MAP sensor to t...

Need help identifying part

Broke one of these cable holder while cleaning the plenum chamber under windshield, I stupidly used some glue to fix it but it didn't work so now I can't see the entire part number on it and I have trouble finding it on ETKA or anywhere on the internet. Seems to start with ??0 971 845 A This is on a...

Re: Front brake caliper rattle problem

I'm going to answer the thread in case it might help someone in the future, the problem was a tiny gap between the caliper and brake carrier which caused it to clank with every bump (quite loud). After noticing that the inner(piston side) brake pads were slightly loose unlike the outer, I did try to...

EPC light, no throttle, P2101 code

Hello! I have a Seat ibiza 6L 1,4 BBY engine (same car as polo 9n) and I've had an issue lately where the EPC light turns on suddenly when I start the engine with code P2101. The throttle works but only up to 2k RPM and the car seems to be in some form of weird limp mode I'm not sure. The moment I t...

Re: Front brake caliper rattle problem

they are floating calipers and should move laterally. if not fitted correctly or excessive wear noise could result. possibly noise could be coming from pad assy? some brands fit better than others. PS. I always use the correct lube/grease on slide pins and pads. I'm quite sure there isn't a fitment...

Re: Front brake caliper rattle problem

These are genuine VW pads and calipers so there shouldn't be a fitment issue, I wonder if perhaps the springs on the brake pads are kind of loose? I've looked in other forums and this seems to be a reoccurring problem, altough the noise seems to be coming from the caliper banging on the carrier not ...

Front brake caliper rattle problem

This is a SEAT ibiza 6l and not polo 9n, even though they're basically the same, so I'm trying my luck in this forum, maybe someone has dealt with the same issue here. The car makes an annoying rattling sound over bumps and bad asphalt since I bought it a year ago and I've finally found the problem,...
