Audi A6 Check Engine Light and Power Loss Issue

Hello everyone, I own a 2012 Audi A6 with 169,000 km on it. Recently, I've been experiencing a couple of issues: the check engine light is on, and there's a noticeable loss of engine power. I replaced the MAP sensor, but I'm still getting a throttle position correlation error. Has anyone experienced similar issues or have any suggestions on what might be causing this? Any advice on what steps I should take next would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Check the throttle body for any dirt or carbon buildup, as this can affect the throttle position sensor readings. Cleaning the throttle body might resolve the issue. If the problem persists, consider checking the wiring and connections to the throttle position sensor for any damage or corrosion. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!

Inspect the throttle position sensor itself for any signs of wear or damage, as it might need replacement. If the sensor appears fine, consider checking the ECU for any software updates or faults, as these can sometimes cause correlation errors. Keep me updated on your progress or if you have more questions!
