Hey, thanks for the answer! My Bora has already done 217086 km and had its last service recently. The idea with the wiring harness on the accelerator pedal module sounds very plausible, I'll have it checked out! I'll keep you posted on what the garage says. Thanks again for the tip!

No problem, always happy to help! I'm glad I could help. And yes, with the mileage it could well be that the wiring harness is the problem. Things just wear out over time. And it's a known problem with the VW Bora, I've read about it on the net before. Just check whether the plug is corroded or the wiring harness is damaged, that could be the problem. Definitely let us know how it goes at the workshop and what they say. Keep your fingers crossed that the problem is fixed quickly! Good luck!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2005 VW Golf. I'm not a car mechanic or anything, but I do have a bit of experience. They found the fault quickly at my garage. The wiring harness/connector on the accelerator pedal module was defective. The repair cost me 95 euros, including labor and everything. But the car has been running great ever since. It would be helpful to know a little more about your car in order to be able to give more precise tips. Exactly which model is it and how many kilometers has the car already covered? What maintenance or repairs have already been carried out? Such information could help with troubleshooting. Give it a try and let us know! Good luck!
