limp mode

Featured Replies

hi have an 05 vrs ASZ the car is sometimes slow on the acceleration if u feed the throttle in its a lot better

but then if say i accelerate to 80 ( on a private road lol ) it wont go any higher and then it feels like it goes into limp mode but no lights on

i have changed the MAF it went a bit better any ideas cheers

Does the engine reset itself when you next switch the ignition off and back on?

Not sure which turbo you have, but sticking VNT vanes is an issue on some diesels.

Have a look at this guide http://api.viglink.c..._13419846014981

When the vanes are sticking overboost occurs, it would be worth checking if any fault codes are logged.
