Sorry it took so long! Here’s the VIN TMBKB7315B9050778. Cars driving fine ATM but it’ll go limp again in a few weeks. That’s why I wondered about a stick EGR.

I’ll grab the VIN later as the car isn’t nearby atm…

Thanks J.R! I think this has to be my next port of call. I’ve replaced everything else and a smoke test didn’t show any leaks.

UPDATE - I left the car idling in the driveway for maybe 10 minutes this morning. To begin with it ran a bit rough and was under revving. When I applied throttle it would flatline at 2000 with a really slow pick up afterwards, which I guess is the limp mode kicking in. Then it started to pick up and was steady, throttle started behaving normally and was fine on a road test. So whatever it is it’s intermittent. I just wish I knew what it was 😂

I wouldn’t have a clue to be honest. Would an EGR fault come under the same code as MAF? I have suspected the EGR before ( sticky valve maybe) but it’s always been another fix to get it going again.

Hello all. I’ve been getting advice from this site for a while, but I’m still struggling to pinpoint why every few months my 2010 superb 1.8tsi goes into limp mode with the p0101 code. I have changed the sensors (Bosch official) cleaned them, had the wiring investigated, and in between it always works great, but for only 3 or 4 months then it all starts again! Has anyone else had this? I’m left wondering if the root cause lies somewhere else and I’m not dealing with the real issue. My next port of call is to go to Skoda for investigation, but that’s going to be expensive. Has anyone dealt with them, especially in the Southampton area? I love the car, but this issue is a real headache.
