Both me and my TDI have gone into limp mode sadly.

I read this article http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/multi/limp-mode-TDI-fix.htm and it seems as though I might have throttle pedometre problems but not really sure where to start. Firstly the cars been leaking into the O/S side rear foot well and i have no idea where thats coming from, the footwell had an inch of water on Friday last week which has also made the front drivers foot well wet.

Yesterday i was running low on fuel the light was on and it went into severe Limp mode only revving to 1200 RPM. The coil light is coming on and the car will now only drive at 5mph. To start with after re-fueling I realised if i restarted the car it cleared the problem, but as soon as you hit the brakes it comes back! so i know its a throttle and brake pedal issue. If anyone can tell me where to start with this i would be very greatful, i was hoping to take my girlfriend away for her birthday next week. I dried the car out last night and disconnected the battery to reset the ECU, but today its worse in that when starting it stuck in limp mode straight away.

Thanks guys, ive managed to dry the floor as much as possible, although still none the wiser to where its coming from. The pedal area feels dry but i cant see where the push rod at the top of the pedal goes once its the other side of the bulkhead. The problem is still the same this morning in that when you start the car its fine but as soon as you depress and take your foot of the foot brake the throttle becomes unresponsive, how are these connected, any idea where the throttle sensors are?

Thanks for that Miker, any ideas who I get to those sensors?
