PHT34 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I think John (ISOLA) has given me some of his gremlins..... Over the 18 months ive had my 34 a few random times when i start the car all the dash warning lights flick on and off as per normal but sometimes the TCS & SLIP lights i think, the ones at the top of the dash cluster have stayed on! The car doesnt feel any different as such, and then if i turn the car off and start again they go away. Its like they just dont flick off sometimes. Im wondering if anyone else has had this happen of if its nothing major to wory about or if its effecting the car only that its happened a few times now in a short time frame???

666DAN Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 If you've got no ill effects it's most likely the TCS throttle motor, they can start to get a little sticky and play up, if it doesn't move the way it's supposed to on startup it registers as an error, with TCS and SLIP lights on.

Mmmmm interesting ..... If that is the case ..... 1 How much do you reckon a throttle motor is? 2 Are they hard to get? 3 Are they hard to replace?

No idea on cost/availability. They do pop up a bit in the for sale section though. If you're not overly phased about the TCS system working 100% right, you can take out the butterfly plate (2 screws holding it) and that does tend to fix things as the drive doesn't get caught on the inside of the plenum anymore. All your codes will appear normal, just if you do activate the TCS you get some loud popping out the exhaust due to the airflow not being cut off as before.
