Issue recently when accelerating on inclines.

Featured Replies

On a few occasions recently, my Octavia which has 212k/km on it, has gone into type of limp mode, this occurs while accelerating on hills or even slight inclines, the orange glow plug/coil light also flashes when this occurs, car loses power, virtually no accelerating possible. If I pull over and turn off ignition, and wait a few minutes it seems to reset itself. And advice greatly appreciated please. 

Sticking vanes on turbocharger, on earlier vehicles cycling the ignition would buy you some time without having to stop, later cars probably wont play ball & need a hard power down reset.

 

A Mr Muscle enema will sort it out.

 

Other oven cleaners are available, the Lidl one is my weapon of choice!

 

It could also be the vacuum pipe between the N75 valve and the turbo actuator degraded and collapsing under the heat from the turbo.
