Problems with Seat Leon 2016: wobbling at idle, engine indicator light and acceleration jerking - suspected defective throttle valveHello everyone, I have recently started having some strange problems with my Seat Leon, year of manufacture 2016, petrol engine. It wobbles when idling, the check engine light is on and it jerks when accelerating. I now suspect that the throttle valve could be to blame. Have any of you had similar experiences and can you help me? How did you get this solved at your garage and what were your experiences? I would really appreciate a few tips! Thanks in advance!

You're welcome! Well, with the number of kilometers and the fresh service, that doesn't sound so dramatic. It could really be something as simple as the power supply. Just have it checked at the garage. In my Ibiza, the problem was fixed pretty quickly. And if it's the throttle valve, it's better to fix it as soon as possible. It's usually the little things that cause big trouble. Let us know what the garage comes up with. Good luck, I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Hey, I'm not a car expert, but I once had a similar problem with my 2014 Seat Ibiza. It was actually a power supply from the accelerator pedal module that was faulty. Had similar symptoms. My garage replaced the module and it cost around €270. Everything was fine again afterwards. Could you give us some more information about your car? Mileage, last service, etc.? Maybe that would help with troubleshooting. Hope that helps a little!
