So was driving up a motorway and slowed down to go to a service station and  the Engine  light on along with flashing glow plug. And engine  fault workshop message. Then in to to limp mode.  Guess it could be a number of things. Car has about 60.000 on it has has not has the ea189 update. 

 

Anyone any ideas  what could cause this. . Someone suggested a E something valve.  Seam to happen when I lift the accelerator. Happened about 4 times in an hour. 

 

Thanks

EGR? It could be clogged, but highly unlikely with only 60.000 miles ... it might be the diesel quality? Probably by using VCDS or VAG-COM you could get a more accurate error than what the dash is capable of letting you know.

Just bought my Superb last week and this happened to me within hours of gettint home, did a code read myself and got a P2563 code, this turned out to be the turbo actuator, very common problem, Although mine was fixed by the dealer, this is not a very expensive part.

Jus had similar fault on my 2012 Superb light came on, then went into limp mode to late to phone dealer now car starts, runs for 2 seconds then cuts out now bank holiday dealer not open any help with what problem is would be most appreciated

Sorry for the late reply... my issue was similar but it did not cut out.. just went into limp mode.. mine turned out to be a faulty turbo actuator... have you had a code from it???
