Engine management light on

[monkster]

Any ideas what's the matter with my Octy 2.0 tdi ? Whilst accelerating up a motorway slip road this morning the car wouldn't rev past 3000 rpm and now the engine management light is on. The car starts and runs normally at low revs.It's a 2005 model with 74,000 on the clock, I've had it for 5 years and it's been excellent since this incident. Regards Monkster.

It sounds like its in limp mode, you are gunna need to get it plugged it and the code read to see why though.

I'm not a betting man but I'm guessing sticky turbo vanes...

You really need to get someone with a fault code reader thats compatible with full canbus to read the fault code. The light can come on for a lot of reasons, some are easier to fix than others.

Sorted today by the excellent folk at Deutchmark in Doncaster. Sticky vanes as suggested, these guys are excellent !
