I have a 2010 Audi A3 2.0 TDI. Was driving home to London from Wales on Saturday and about 30mins from home an engine management light came on (the coil) and the car went into limp mode. I managed to get home after stopping a couple of times and switching the engine off (which removed the light) and continuing my journey.
I've now used the Carista app to find the fault and it comes up with the following:
Engine:
04984
04987
Can anyone help identify what these mean? I've searched and seen mentions of the glow plugs. The car can take a few seconds to start which is an issue that's been there for a while - I did have a garage do a diagnostic check in 2017 for a different issue and they said there was also an issue with glow plug no.2 and it needed replacing (but said the car could still run ok).
Could it be that another glow plug has failed? Would this cause the light to come on whilst driving? Any help/advice appreciated.
