Title: Won't go above 3000rpm eml on
Post by: jakejay92 on March 12, 2016, 05:14:35 pm

Hi need some help

I was driving my gt sport tsi (170) earlier today all off a sudden the eml came on, and won't rev above 3000

Feels fine in 1st 2nd 3rd but when I get to full boost it feels like it's holding back, just goes flat.

Any help would be appreciated cheers

Sounds like its in limp mode. Get the car scanned for a fault code. Similar thing happenned to me on my polo once and turned out to be a leak on the turbo pipe
