Following the exhaust being fixed it still went into limp mode under acceleration in 5th up an incline. It went back and they found an intermittent fuel regulator issue when plugged in and codes read. It had a new fuel regulator and switch. Within a couple of days it did it again so it’s back in the garage. fingers crossed they can work it out this time.

Yes of course but is there any possibility it could be related to the exhaust / DPF or is that very unlikely? Just trying to brace myself for how many issues i might have to repair.

Unfortunately i havent managed to get it plugged in. It has only done it once and when accelerating relatively hard. I have only driven it a couple of times gently over short distances since.

Do you think it could be an injector issue or as i have a split in the exhaust between the flexi and the DPF could it be this and the fact the exhaust gases arent going through the DPF and sensors throwing something out with the ECU getting odd readings?

Thats good to know as there looks to be a bit around the filler cap which i did think could be spilt oil. I will attempt to clean it all off and then see if i see it again. I need to see what caused the Limp mode and cross my fingers that it isnt anything serious.

I have to admit i havent had it that long so i havent topped up the oil as the level is fine. I had a slight issue with it going into limp mode and when i looked under the bonnet i saw something from undert he engine cover. I removed it and it looked like some smoke / fumes from that valve / disc.

So you cant just replace the PCV itself whilst using the original cover? Seems like it could be quite an expensive replacement. Are these usually an issue / something that does require replacement? I thought it would be pretty cheap so it was worth doing due to the fact I saw some smoke / fumes come out of here, is that linked to requiring a replacement or is it likely more sinister?

Thanks, I thought it was but then started to doubt myself. Can you post me a link to a new part that is correct for a 2010 1.6tdi and is it an easy replacement?

Hi, can someone confirm what this disc is at back of engine cover? First picture has a blue arrow showing what I mean. thanks michael

Yes, all movements but reverse does seem slightly harder although 1st isn’t great. It does feel like the gearstick is stiff rather than the gear selection/clutch if that makes sense. Like it’s snagging or tight. This is why I thought it might be cable/linkage related.

I’m hoping it’s like a mk4 golf I had as it doesn’t spring back to the centre position and seems a bit easier to get into gear cold. I’m sure that was linkage rather than clutch.

The window wiper has stopped working on the passenger side. Is it fairly straight forward linkage on these or more complex? Thanks

Sorry 1.6tdi 105bhp in a 2010

Hi, earlier when accelerating fairly hard the car went into what I assume was limp mode with the coil symbol flashing on the dash. After a while of the engine off it started and drove ok (wouldn’t pull off straight away as no power). I know there is a blow on the flexi of the exhaust so I guess lack of back pressure and I noticed that there was a bit of smoke coming out of the PCV valve. Is it likely linked to one or both of these? Thanks
