A4 B8.5 TDI
Driving along in cruise control the other day (probably about 75 MPH) and the car slides into limp mode, EGR lights starts flashing and I can#t go over 2000 or so RPM.
Manage to get off on the next exit fine and luckily I was with my brother who had his VCDS laptop and cable on him so we hook it up for a quick diagnostic check and get the error in the image attached.
Started up again and drove conservatively on the way home - never happened again but afraid it could happen again on another long trip or cause damage if not looked at.
Thinking firstly to just check all cables/wires on/around the EGR and then removing it and giving it a good clean - not sure anyone can recommend anything else?
Also does anyone have a guide on removing/cleaning the EGR on a B8.5 before I give it a go on my own?
Thanks!
