Hi everyone, this morning I took my 2012 Golf TDI out, it was around 9 degrees. I started to pass a car and went into limp mode and the glow plug warning indicator started flashing. After I turned off the car and turned it back on, everything was fine until the turbo kicked in a bit and the same issue but now with both glow plug and engine light warnings kicked on. I turned the car back off, back on and eased back home with only the check engine light on the whole time.
I drove the car yesterday in wet cold weather and its bitter cold today. I'm trying to figure out if the turbo is going out or if maybe its (hopefully) intercooler icing. I really don't know a lot about TDIs so bear with me. It is going to warm up into the 40s tomorrow so I'm going to test again at that point. The car starts fine and runs fine, other than when the turbo kicks in and it goes into limp mode.
Here is what VCDS shows, any information would be greatly appreciated!
