Indicated bad TB, and Dana Saab (yes, Saab not VW anymore) had already replaced his pedal cluster, which was not the problem. After this scan, we double checked wiring and I used my digi MM to test all the specs and everything tested to spec with voltage and ohms and Vag tests according to the repair manual. So, he went head with the new TB, and I *think it's been fine so far. If there is still an issue we will check for any shorts or exposed wiring under the tray Good tip!
