Just had my VR Highline Vag-com’ed and it gave this error code.

 

Idling speed regulation adaptation limit (add exceeded)

 

Fault code 00533

 

Anyone know what I can do about this?

 

 

thanks

It probably just cut out once...

 

Is it running ok? of so just clear it and see if it comes back...

Thanks for the reply,

 

Cleared the code and it cam right back?

If it is a post 8/95 with the stepper motor idle control (no separate ISV) then the most common reason for that fault code is a dirty throttle body. Remove it and clean the internals of the body gently with a nylon brush and aerosol carb cleaner. After re-fitting, it will need to be set up in Basic Adjustment mode, group 098.

Crasher,

 

I have cleaned the throttle body and put it back, it was quite dirty in there and the intake pipe also had some oil in it.

 

I tried to find “Basic Adjustment mode, group 098.” but I could not locate it.

I also went through the basic setting but I could not find anything to set up the throttle body.

I am using VAG 1551 to do my diagnostics, am I missing something???

 

Thanks

Dav.

It's a post 8/95 Golf 3 isn't it?

It is, (OBD2) but it’s all sorted now

I was trying to perform the throttle adjustment with the engine running silly mistake really.

I found out later that you can this with the ignition on but not running, you can hear the throttle go through the motions and the end result is a much smoother running engine.

 

Thanks for your help.
