Hi,i have been to many mechanics and they have done everything and it seems like the car is not fixed. New fuel pump, filter, sensors on rails and changed fuel lines. I haven't spent nearly 2000 pounds so please can someone help me. I have a skoda octavia vrs 2012 dsg and it can drive all day but as soon as there is some power it will go to limp mode. Few things to know is that the car has had a new ecu and has been remapped. 

 

PLEASE HELP IF CAN

Petrol or diesel?

http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/16471/P0087/000135 is well worth a read. 

Diesel mate

Yes mate read all of that and ive done most of it. I was told to check turbo boost pressure sensor but I've flooded money inside the car so I don't know if this is the right move

I'd go one of two ways with it.

 

Give it a decent scan with something like VCDS, then get some live data on a drive (I'd probably start with fuel pressure, boost, injector quantity).

 

Or

 

It might be worth looking at cleaning your turbo, or at least having a feel at the actuator to see if it's moving nicely. It's not something I've done on your engine, but there should be a guide on here or YouTube.

 

Any usual noises? Whining turbo, rough idle, misfire?

 

see the weird thing is mate the car had the code p0088 which is high fuel pressure so after changing the sensors on the rail it went to p0087. also when the p0088 code existed u could drive the car for 45 minutes blasting it. 

then after 45 mins it would cut out

does anyone have any info on this please???????

 

@luciano2378 Where are you in the UK because somebody here can maybe tell you where to find a competent mechanic that will actually fix your car and not just take your money 

Hi mate thanks for your reply, I am from Nottingham

like mansfield

Why did the car have a new ECU? Was that a failed attempt to fix the same problem?

apart of the ecu was fried i don't know why

@roottoot do you kno any skoda specialists

 

Yes but not near Nottingham. 

C+R Enterprises are in Nottingham and are good on VAG cars
