I have a 2004 Passat TDI that I bought about a year and a half ago. About a month later it went into limp mode but the check engine light did not go on. I took it to a VW dealer who checked it but could not find anything wrong. They told me if it happened again with the check engine light on to bring it in. About 2 weeks ago it went into Limp Mode with the light on. I brought it in this past Tuesday and told them that when it goes into limp mode all I do is pull over, turn the engine off a restart it and it's fine. This Happened several months ago on the way home several times with the light on. every time shutting and restarting the engine corrected the problem and the check engine light went out until this time. I explained everything to VW and they tell me the turbo is bad and will cost $2400. I asked if they checked the hoses or relays but I never got an answer. The car's been running fine with the check engine light on. HELP!
