Good evening today, tired of the continuous SAF, I tried to solve it by following your precious advice... But I wasn't able to solve it. The only wire that seemed to be defective (or at least bent in a strong way) was this one: I cut out the bent part, soldered and protected with heat shrink...

Thank you for your patience and for the priceless indications! I Will check that points! ;)

Vince Waldon, yes, I tought the same thing at the beginning, but after a lot of controls with VCDS I decided to drive with the pc connected and recording live data. All pedals were ok and worked perfectly even during the SAF. Obviously, pressing the clutch pedal made the car back to work, so it...

Hello there GKnight, last saturday I had the chance to take 2 spare hours on my Touran and I started from the basics. I took out the battery with its tray and the air filter with its tubes. I unscrewed and perfectly cleaned all the mass cables I found there and rebuilt everything. Initially the...

Hello NevilleMccoy, yes, I totally agree that is an electrical problem, I'm pretty sure with it. Maf has been changed, nothing different as a result. Pedal is still working perfectly, I can see the graphs with the PC connected to the OBD port and works fine. Tell me more about the fuel pump... :D

Thanks again to everyone! In the last 2 weeks I was working out of town... GKnight, I will check immediately the fuse box and the brown wire, I hope to solve it! BobnOH yes, it's a PD engine. The throttle response turns to zero suddenly, no limp mode; it's like take your foot away from the...

Ahahah I have no problem to get the problem, it happens randomly after a few minutes and sometimes keep going on a lot of times in less than a minute. Some other times it doesn't happen at all in maybe 2 or more hours. This is driving me nuts.

Thank you very much! This is appreciated! Next week I'll check for those 2 potential issues. I was assuming that the cruise control wasn't suspected because even during a malfunction it can't "kill" the gas pedal (that is a brake pedal's task), so my first tougth was about brake switch. I hope...

Hello Gknight, long time since my last login here... Did you solved the problem? My car got back to the starting ponit. Last week I changed my windshield because a big hailstorm decided to destroy it. Immediately after I finished the job I had the gas pedal problem again... What a nightmare! I...

Update: I apparently solved the problem by tearing down every harnesses and every hoses that I managed to get by my hands, inspecting everything possibile and sprying with contact cleaner fluid... Even the ECU got the same treatment :D By now, 50 kms gone with no problem at all... Even if I'm a...

A quick update: after several power losses, I noticed that clutch pedal pression is not needed to get the power back; you can just release the accelerator for 2 seconds and everything re start working properly (until the next time problem occours)... It happens at any rpm, speed, gear, ground...

Here you can see a picture I took when I was running VCDS during a trip. Red line is the accelerator pedal, and problem occoured when the white line was separate from the others... https://ibb.co/jvKp9S

Yep! Brake pedal switch changed (It has been the first try), and accelerator pedal cheched via VCDS while driving; pedal worked perfectly and graphs where fine...

Yes, dear BobnOH... Everything is telling me that is electrical. Always a pain, yes... Saturday I'll check the fuel line, that has been my first though, but I forgot between the sea of other thousand possible reasons... Thank you for your message!

Hi there, few trys to solve the problem bring me to no solutions... Thinking about a inlet/manifold problem, I cleaned the EGR and I deleted it by adding 2 plates (one on that sort of heat exchanger between the turbo and the EGR, and one on the EGR itself). Car now has a better throttle response...

Hello everyone! I'm Mattia from Italy and I'm here because a problem on my 2003 Touran is driving me crazy... I can't find any info on the net. As I said, my car is a 2003 Touran equipped with a 1.9TDI 105hp AVQ 6 gear (that one is very common in MK5 golf, here in Europe). Car has relatively...
