Just got a call from the dealership saying now they want to change my throttle body which seems more like the way to go but when I asked them what they did to come to that conclusion they just said it seems like its the next logical step. I asked them to go back and at the very least perform some tests on it to obtain some sort of evidence that the throttle body is indeed not functional

Hi Dustin.hinton,I'm experience the same problem you experienced with my 2006 Audi A4 1.8t and after all the sensors, throttle paddle has been replaced including AMF the problem still persists of traction, EPC and car going to limb mode. They now took in to check wiring as they suspect problem might be wiring. I will give you feedback when they are done with it.
