mode

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...

My car has near enough been in limp mode the past two weeks, its so annoying, The car was flying after getting it back from star. To try and correct this I have changed the MAF, N75 valve, and the thrust sensor in my IC pipe. Tonight I set about resetting the fault codes that I've have...

My car wants to only boost to 7psi so i've checked under the bonnet and found this part loose.. I am not sure if this part will have an influence on the boost or not?

is this regarded as limp mode? hi experiencing somethin strange with my 51 plate lc, while gentle driving between 2000-3500rpm my boost can cut and come back slightly lower ie drivin with little throttle then it will cut and come back with less pull.it doesnt happen from 2000-3500 i get it...

The display on the Aura stereo is reading "SAFE" and does not work now. Looking at through the manual, it seems to require the code to get the stereo to work, but the radio card in the handbook does not have the code written in it. Other than going to a dealer, is there any other way of...

Hi I have been having problems with the sterio in my ibiza fr. I seem's to be stuck in [safe] mode. I have followed the radio manuals instructions, but it's no use I can't get it out of safe mode to put the radio code in. I have tryed disconecting the battery, and leaving the radio and the...

I think Ive got :gay: limp mode at the moment, Was driving home yesterday on the motorway and decided to give it some in 5th gear. Anyway the car was pulling nicely (on a clear stretch of m-way of course) and all of a sudden it felt like I hit the rev limiter although it was only on 5k in...

Have just driven home from a mates and started the journey in limp mode with no boost over 5psi.. Yep still having issues lol Anyway after about 10 minutes of driving it went back to normal and started boosting fully again... I thought you had to reset the ECU or at least turn the engine...
