Ok got my A3 last night, brought knowing it was broken.

I thought, didnt look into it did I!! that it was a cable throttle body but soon realised its a DBW.

Now when i start the car and hit the peddle i get 1 slight blip of revs and then nothing after that.

After the one blip there is no response to the throttle at all.

Any ideas guys?

A3 1.8T Quattro 2000 .

 

Ok, update.

Read about break switch could cause this, and mine was broken!!

Changed switch, now brake lights work but throttle still the same.

Got someone coming to read the codes in an hour.
