Here's my story. I have a 2003 Jetta TDI wagon, 5 spd with 60K. The engine light came on, went to Autozone and read the codes, they were P0128 (coolant temp sensor), P0672 and P0674 (glow plugs 2 and 4) and P0252 Fuel pump metering control A). I replaced the CTS, glow plugs 2 & 4 (reverse number order from the cylinders) which eliminated all of the codes except P0252.
The symptom is that the car defaults into "Limp" mode. Now upon further investigation, if I turn the engine off (via the key), then drive off immediately, the car drives with normal acceration for maybe 20 seconds then back to Limp mode, further if I turn the engine off and let it sit at idle for anything over 5 seconds, it goes immediately into Limp mode.
The car starts and idles fine. I also replaced rhe fuel filter.
I've searched the net and can not find any helpful info associated with this P0252 code. I'm hoping some kind soul has encounted this condition and can advise on solutions.
Very much appreciated!
