limp mode

Any help with this is greatly appreciated as I am pulling my hair out with this one. For a while now I have intermitently had a orange coil light come up on my dashboard after starting up my car. What would happen is the car would go into limp mode but if i drove for 30 seconds turned the...

Hi all, I’m new to this forum (as a member, have been reading/googling/loving for much longer!) so apologies beforehand if I’m breaking any rules/best practices! I took a big risky plunge by buying a private entry copart Audi A4 B9, no damage but numerous mechanical issues as that was more or...

The car is an Avant 2.0 TDI. I've been trying to solve this pesky fault code that frequently results in limp home mode. So far I've replaced two charge pressure hoses. One had a pretty nasty tear, but clearly wasn't the only culprit. I was hoping that someone smarter than me would be able to...

Hi folks i've been scratching my head for a few days with my '08 A5 Coupe, hoping the community here can help. The car: 2008 3.0tdi Audi A5, stage 1 remap, EGR has been blanked, swirl flaps delete, DPF gutted. Backbox delete. 150k miles, no issues leading up to this. The scenario: Driving to...

Hi all, I'm having turbo woes - my car goes into limp mode in 4th and 5th, the issue that a lot of people with 1.9s seem to have. I thought I'd try some Forte turbo cleaner as I've seen a few people recommend it online (as well as a few dismissing it as snake oil). We'll see. I've got two...

Not sure if this me being paranoid here or feeling something I'm not. The car feels like it's hitting limp mode for about a second or so when driving and then goes back to normal. Or it periodically happens at random points. I haven't scanned the car with VCDS yet but last time I did nothing...

Hello everyone! I own an a6 from 2012 with the V6 3.0 TDI and last week I encountered this issue with the limp mode, the engine was heated after a 400 km drive, no engine stops and when I was near home the glow plug started flashing. I went to the service, found a burned wire and thought the...

Hi guys, Hope everyone is well. So basically pretty sure vanes sticking in a3 2.0tdi 170bhp 57 plate. Getting limp mode and intermittent loss of power. Remap, dpf egr delete and cooler delete all done, egt b1 s1 also, but to no avail. Dpf sensor changed too. Basically at the end of my...

Hi All, I've got a 2.0tfsi (ccza) 3dr a3. 09 reg, 115k miles. Had the clutch and flywheel replaced (used sachs parts). All seemed fine but 30 miles after picking the car up I was driving down the m4 and the EPC light came on aswell as the engine warning light, and the car went into limp mode...

Hi all, currently experiencing some issues with an 8P stage 3 S3 running the TTE420 setup & wanted to see if anyone else had similar symptoms regardless of your setup & what actions were taken to rectify the problem. Briefly, car runs superb & boosts well that is until you take it to the...

Hi all, First time poster, having a few issues with my 8P. Sorry for the massive first post, i like to be thorough and cover everything i've tried so far. Car is a 2012 model 2.0 TDI S-Line, 84K on the clock & my only mod is an EGR Blank (with 10mm hole) which was done around 3 months ago...

I'd like to first declare that this is my first post on this site so bare with me lol. I have an Audi A3 1.9 TDI 105bhp which has had quite a lot of work done to it ( Reconditioned Turbo, DPF removal, Camshaft position sensor, EGR software remap, Timing belt and water pump) but I've now hit a...

Hey so I have a 2.0 tfsi 2005 A3 and well the car basically went into limp mode, and I looked up the code and it says P2149 Injector B. What is the fix for my car ? Because I’ve looked online and I can’t find anything for an Audi.. is it a new harness somewhere ?

Hey guys I was driving earlier and my glow plug light started flashing as I was goin up a hill and had a serious lack of power. Luckily I was dropping of the other half which was 50m away from where this started happening I parked up turned the engine off and restarted and the flashing stopped...

Hi All, First time on here, recently picked up a Audi Q7 2007 110,000 3.0tdi for £5995. Bargain in my eyes. I know the maintenance and bills are going to be high. But driving it back from the private seller somewhere on the M25, cruising at 60mph suddenly glow plug light flashes and speed drops...

Hello all, I have trawled through many threads and web pages and I am unable to determine the best cause of action. Here is my issue. I have owned my car since 2014, last year I started having starting issues when the weather was hot and would get the EPC light on and the car would be in...

Got an 2008 1.9tdi e A3 at the end of February, and i think it has been out of the garage about a week. Have had the egr valve, camshaft sensor and wheel hub changed. It is currently in limp mode (struggles greatly with hills), the esp light is on, the low plug light is flashing, the engine...

Hi guys. Last week, driving home doing around 60mph and suddenly my car dropped dramatically in power, wouldnt get me above 30mph and struggling to stay alive. I nursed it home and called my mechanic. He came and started it and told me it seemed to be the turbo but he couldnt look at it for...
