| Description of the problem | Car battery is in good shape because i recently replaced it with a new one. The problem is occasionally i try to start the vehicle and it will not start when the electronic throttle control light is blinking but if i use my car keys to lock and unlock the car, then the electronic throttle control light will go off and car will start. Last week it occurred two times and i took the car to volkswagen dealership but they told me, the diagnostic test is not showing any code and hence there is no problem with my car but i think there is a problem because i have experienced this problem five times in total. They requested i tow my car to them the next time it occurs to see if the code can be determined but i still not comfortable because i don't know what is coming next. |
