I think what Mauro means is reprogramming the throttle body by opening and closing the ignition switch; perhaps that's what he calls doing it manually, without using a scanner. Anyway, don't argue and try to be open-minded about new ways of doing things. Some work and others don't, but that's what we're here for: to determine what's right and what's wrong. Good luck and best regards

Manual-mechanics' response on the topic Re: VW Golf GL Problem
I want to clarify that I didn't say "by hand," but rather "manually," without using a scanner. I think you should read more carefully before being so hostile.
I work in a workshop, I'm an automotive student (no coursework), and I've attended several universities. I also have a degree as a Mechanical Technician specializing in machine tools and automation, with knowledge of electronics.

The other day, I adapted the throttle body on my mother's Fiat Palio 1.3 MPI, and I did it manually because the scanner wouldn't recognize the ECU. I did it as follows:
1) I drove the car in second gear at 1000 rpm, then accelerated it to 4000 rpm and then cut the throttle. (Without braking, just letting the revs drop.)
2) I repeated step "1" three more times.
This is what I call doing the adaptation manually.
If you're bothered by me replying here, let me know. I think what's lacking in this country is respect, teamwork, and listening to others.
A little more respect, please, and be more grateful.
If you feel I've said something completely out of place, please explain your problem clearly; perhaps I can help.
I'm here to help, not to confuse.
Regards, and I apologize if I wasted your time.

It wasn't my intention to disrespect you. If I'm trying to correct you, it's because I'm trying to help you improve and prevent others from learning from a misconception, as I said. I'm sorry, but I don't see the difference between "manual" and "mano," but that doesn't matter. I didn't come here to detract, but to contribute, and it's not good for someone who wants to learn something to do so from a mistaken understanding.
This thread is dealing with the problem of a VW Golf 2.0 with a motorized throttle body (part number 06A133062), not a Fiat MPI 1.3 with a mechanical throttle body, TPS, and stepper motor (MAGNETTI MARELLI SXBF0502), which can be reset without a scanner, just like, for example, the Peugeot 405 SRI/GR from 1991-1998, because they have the same idle control system. I would never say that your participation in this forum bothers me; if I did, I would be wrong. You have the same right. I encourage everyone to participate. If you work in a workshop, check if the BOSCH unit we're discussing here can be manually reprogrammed, because if it can, I'm throwing all my diagnostic equipment away. The best thing about this is that you're getting trained, but you should be less sensitive when you're corrected with good reason. I really meant it in a friendly way. Cheers.

Hi, my correction wasn't meant to be argumentative at all. I think Mauro was a little sensitive, but that's fine. I didn't think it would bother him to tell him he was giving incorrect information. I know what I'm talking about, and I just wanted to prevent the user who asked for help from having the problem further complicated by improper procedures. And you, as a moderator, know that in injection systems or any computerized electronic control system, if something is handled incorrectly, it can cause even more damage. You have to be careful with this. Thank you.

Greetings friends, I truly appreciate your valuable contributions. Unfortunately, I didn't do anything to the vehicle today due to the excessive workload I had on other vehicles, and I didn't have time to look for the throttle body. Now, I'd like to know if any of you have the electrical diagram for the throttle body and pedal because I want to check how the signals are reaching the harness, both grounds and voltages at each pin. I'm not sure if I can leave my email address so you can send it to me. Thanks in advance.
