Not even 24hrs and the engine management light is bk on

For my motor sorted last night and it was running perfect. Drove to work this morning and was still good. Left work at lunch and the engine management light came on and now won't boost over 4psi. Other than that its running fine. Any ideas what's up?

limp mode, do not drive, get codes and post up mate

I have to drive it to get home. Only 5 mile. Will this be ok?

...i wouldnt personally mate but if needs must, limp mode is designed to stop any further damage from happening, have you stopped and started again?

could also be a loose connection somewhere so just check all sensor etc as well before you start up again

Whatt!!!

Do drive it!

Its in limp mode as theres a fault, it will run but SLOW. Get it plugged in again you have an issue somewhere. Get a error code throw it up on here and we will go through some possible causes.

You can unplug your MAF and your can will run in LIMP it doesnt mean you cant drive your car.
Just dont hammer it.

Could be any sensor causing your issue.

If your stuck somewhere mate trust me if its only boosting to 4psi its running in limp, Drive home and get it sorted. Infact drive home and order a Vagcom lead of ebay for less than £10 it will save you an absolute fortune!!
Its worth the weight in gold.

Will have to invest then lol.
Also have noticed the the small hose coming off the top of my dv is folded right over. Could this be the problem?
