Thanks for your replies all.
I forgot to mention, so by way of adding some clarity, this car is a company car. It is serviced every year according to manufacturer scheduling.
The coolant temp, assuming this is the small analogue dial on the left of the instrument cluster sticks at 90 no matter the temperature.
My problem is the car going into limp mode. I actually watch the engine temp rather than the speedo as I know when it hits approx 116, the car is going
to go into said mode and lose 50% power. It’s like it cannot handle prolonged speed.
The car is a 2020 Estate, SE. It’s a work horse and covers 20k miles a year so already sitting close to 90k total mileage.
its serviced according to VW scheduling, and that’s factoring in the excessive mileage it does, so annual oil changes, fluid top ups, tyres and DSG service are all done. Unfortunately because of that, I don’t know what type of oil is in the car.
oil is changed at least every 12 months
