Hi all, New to the forum but done a lot of searching to try and find the cheapest way to solve my problem with a 2004 Cupra TDI (ARL). Common problem from what I read but not so simple to resolve: Limp mode most days but hit and miss as to when it happens. Used VAGCOM and got faults...

I'm wondering what is causing my mk4 PD160 ibiza cupra to go into limp mode. It tends to happen at low revs in 6th gear. I don't get any errors and have replaced the MAF about 6 moths ago. It has only happened 4 times, but that is in the last few weeks. I've read the forums and people...

The other night i hit limp mode (been ages since did) it will hit limp mode then after a few mins will come back on boost My coolant temp was reading 90 which is normal once engine warmed up i know. Then it decided to drop back down then go back up :confused: I know i need a...

Ok lads, I was having the annoying 17536 (system too lean) problem for quite a while putting me into constant limp mode. Finally bought a new maf which cleared that problem. However I am still running limp, now due to 17965 (positive deviation or overboost as I read on here). This fault...

Hey guys, i keep getting a re-occuring problem.... In 4th n 5th gear, when i hit 20psi, it instantly drops to 10psi, i understand this as limp mode, i normally find playing with the actuator i can get it boosting normally again (normally peaks at 20, and drops to 14, then gradually tails...

Hi all, I fitted a Jetex filter with a jabbasport heatshield at the weekend, i am very pleased with end result as it feels a lot more responsive and sounds alot deeper and nicer. Also make a few whoosy noises:D. Previously ihad a smoothed airbox with green cotton panel filter. For the...

Hi all, I've had my X LC Sport (1.8T AUQ) since February and ever since I bought it (had 103,000 on the clock), its gone in to limp mode most mornings. Winter/Summer, doesn't matter. A few minutes of running later, and I can restart the engine and have full power again. I have the 'pressure...

well today i received my 4 bar fpr, i decided to fit it too as it was my day off, when driving the revs started to stutter over 5k and felt almost like a misfire, i thought this was down to my car not being mapped so i decided to put my standard fpr back on. however now my dash has an EPC...
