weird issue

Featured Replies

Had the vrs down to edinburgh and experienced a weird issue with it just as I was leaving my house. As I was climbing a steep hill in 5th gear I lost power, car was only making 10psi on the boost gauge( I don't know if that classifys as limp mode or back to standard) it was like I had lost my remap. I had no warning lights or anything, I stopped and checked the coilpacks etc. Switched the car off and I was running back on remap boost peaking at 19psi. Car drove perfect for the next 160miles to edinburgh.

I didn't have my code reader with me so couldn't check for faults but as I say the car pulled well in all gears for the rest of the journey. The car hasn't been driven really in the last 2 weeks could it possibally just be a sticky injector or something as its been sat for a couple of weeks, was very weird, ill scan for faults when I get home on sundayy just wondering if anyone had any ideas. Coilpacks were replaced last year with the recall.

limp mode is normally 5 psi mate
