Year of Manufacture *: 2008 Engine Size and Code *: 1.2 BBM ( Optional ) Scanner Used: Solus pro ( Optional) Fault Codes: 17952 17579
Had this polo in today for loss of power and vehicle going in to limp home mode. cchecked codes in ecm and got 17952 Angle sensor throttle motor g187 signal to high and 17579 Angle sensor 2 throttle motor g188 not plausible. After clearing codes took vehicle for good road test trying to get it to fault and couldn't get it to fault at all. While engine was running i wiggle the wiring to the throttle body and the engine started running poorly and eventually cut out and stored the same fault codes. Once the wiring to the throttle body was open up it became evident that the brown wire to the connector had broken off about 4mm from the connector, so soldered in a new piece of wire and all is well.
