Power loss
« on: 20 October 2014, 12:58 »
I have an issue with my gti it keeps going into what can only be described as "limp mode" however it's inconsistent when it happens doesn't matter if driving carefully or giving it some it happens, there is no warning lights on my dash and not giving any fault codes on my reader. When turn the ignition  off and back on it's back to normal any ideas what it could be ?? Also I've just had diverter valve and pcv replaced as diverter valve was broke and was advises to pcv at same time so I know it's not one them

Cheers hopefully someone will have an idea ?

Use the search feature, I'm pretty sure there's a few posts on this as it could be several points of failure.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Your hunt for a bargain GTI has resulted in the usual.  These cars only last so long and then drop to bits.  Expect many expensive visits to the dealers before you sell on.
