As A7 UFO has said it could be a number of things

Limp mode =

Faulty N75
Boost leak
Sticking turbo vanes

I've also experienced when a pipe from the exhaust manifold to the EGR broke off and vented gases

Have a poke around your engine bay and the sides of the intercooler at the front to see if you can see anything obvious like a loose / disconnected pipe

There are a couple of people in and around your area i believe who have VAG COM - might be worth getting in contact with them to see if they will help you out for a few beer tokens  :smiley:

it control the position of the turbo vanes via the actuator

not necessarily - you can get a turbo cleaning kit which could help eliminate the problem

Neil (old_No7) lives down the road from you too

Or you could trundle up to Awesome GTI for them to have a look at it - they are in Manchester

Or there is PSI Tuning in Stoke-on-Trent

do you have thick black smoke coming from the exhaust?

What a stupid question, it's a diesel  :grin:
