Hey guys, when i bought my ibiza off my mate he had problems with the car now and again going into limp mode and it then sorting its self out using 97 ron fuel, he then got told by a mate to try some 95 ron and see what that does, and its never gone into limp mode since, i know i shouldnt try...

I'm sorry to post yet another boost thread but here I go anyway because mine is a bit strange :) Basically when I plant it in 5th gear my boost often takes a couple of seconds to settle and bounces around a little. ie it normally will spike at 21 psi, fall to 17 then settle at about 19-20...

We have just picked up a untidy new shape Alhambra for £2800 (almost half the book) and are setting about making it nice again. The body work and trim aren't an issue as that is what I do but the mechanics are being a bit of a pain. The car hadn't been serviced in 14k so I changed the oil...

Hi all. Im a total newbie on this site, but have posted this question on other forums. My 1999 (Mk2) Toledo TDI (110) SE has occasionally gone into Limp mode when flooring it up hills etc. Usual engine off / on fixes it. I had someone look at with Vagcom and it was a pressure related...

Hello all, I have just taken my Leon FR into a dealer as my DPF light has been on with 2 other lighs and the car has been in limp mode. I'm now worried that the DPF will have to be replaced. Is this common? What sort of criteria would lead to the filter being changed rather than...

Dear readers Had my Leon FRTDI for one week and its been fantastic. Except for today that is... I have only done 500 miles including a trip to the coast and commutes on the motorway, yet to my horror the DPF warning came on today, shortly thereafter car went into limp mode... crazy...

Can someone explain to me what is 'Limp Mode' and how can I check that when I think the car has gone into limp mode, that it really is limp mode and not some other problem? ie. Are the revs limited to a certain amount? Is the turbo switched off? Basically I need more information about what it...

I've been having a lot of problems with my car going into limp mode. I just wanted to get a feel for how many other people are having similar problems. My car is an FR TDi. I see others with the same engine have had issues but I would interested to see if other engines are having the same...

Hi all, I've got an Altea TDi FR which has had some long running intermittent faults. The fault is that it goes in to limp mode when I switch the car on. It never comes on during driving and I can clear the fault by either switching off/on or driving for a few hundred metres and off/on...

I have a 2006 Leon, petrol 1.6S, that is causing me a deal of heartache and pain. I've had it fourteen months and in that time I've had a number of problems withthe EPC light (sometimes accompanied by the emissions light) coming on and the car defaulting to limp mode. It's been back to two...

I'm having a limp mode problem when starting the car, which normally only happens after a long drive. Now my car is 1.9TDi Leon Stylance so this is not connected to the FR limp mode problem, as my car has never gone into limp mode while driving once the problem was cleared or it started...

I'm having a problem with my seven month old Leon fr TDi. The car currently has 16700 miles on the clock. About two months ago the diesel particulant light appeared on the dash. I believe that this occurs on cars doing lots of short journeys, coking up. I had been driving for two...

So i picked her up this morning after having the K03s fitted everything was perfect and well chuffed with it! Coming home tonight and sat at a empty set of traffic lights with a open bypass in front of me so i gave it abit of a booting to see what the k03s could do pulled threw the gears up to...

My Leon went into limp home mode today, the EPC and traction lights came on and it wouldnt rev. Im thinking this could be because I didnt secure the bonnet properly and it popped onto the catch down the road.... Is the car that intelligent? Never done it before or since (on the way home) At...

Ok guys I realy need your help on this one. I have just finished building a mk3 Golf which I fitted with a 03 Ibiza PD130 engine and 6 speed box.I used the full Seat loom,ecu,clocks etc. The car starts and drives fine until between 60 & 70mph it goes into limp mode.If I turn off the key and...

So, today my 2 month old car chose to go into limp mode as I was driving along. The glow plug light was flashing away merrily so I abandoned my trip to work and headed for the nearest Seat dealer. En route, I thought I'd switch the engine off and back on to see if the fault cleared. It did, for...
