Code: 1165

Does any know what the code 1165 is and how to solve the problem? I have a 01, JettaVR6 with GIAC chip and AEM cool air intake installed..it worked fine for the first year.but recently, i encountered the emission malfunction problem...i asked the dealer about the code, they replied "throttle valve failed" what does that mean? Can anyone help me on this,,very urgent, should I put my original intake back to my jetta and see if the light goes off? or..another way around?? Thx!

as with all mods,they eventually throw up problems,try refitting to standard,light may have to be reset.

I'm not familiar with that code number, but the throttle actator failure is a fairly common problem w/VR6's. Since the mods have been on a year or so I doubt the problem is due to them. It's not that hard to do ,but when replacing this unit it must be "re-introduced" to the computer using a specialized scan tool (most scanners cannot do it) and the part is dealer only too. Bite the bullet & let them do it.
