Hello, I have a frustrating situation that I would request help on. My engine goes into what you call limp home mode. If you turn the key off/on all clears and it runs normal for the rest of the trip. I've changed the fuel filter, no improvement. It only has 57,000 miles so I can't believe the EGR/etc is plugged. Vacuum hoses are good. Occasionally when this happens it will set a code, but it isn't EGR/Turbo boost,MAF like the posts suggest. It sets:
P0272 cylinder 4 contribution balance
P0266 cylinder 2 contribution balalnce
P0263 cylinder 1 contribution balance
Engine starts normal, doesn't smoke, still gets good mileage and has good power until this limp home deal sets. It does seem to happen upon accelleration. Could a bad N75 solenoid somehow cause these codes to set? I have put my VCDS lite on it and recorded boost, EGR etc. if anyone wants to look at that.
