Went into limp like state right away after starting when I left to drive home this morning after nightshift. Tried a dozen or so restarts on the way home, but would not resolve.
Was acting similarly this spring and I deleted the EGR by going to PD150 intake manifold and retaining the ASV. Seemed to resolve issue and have had no trouble for 6 months.
No codes. Checked vnt operation with VCDS, all good. Changed fuel filter, went for a ride and back to normal, full power. There are no boost leaks. Have doggie collar, vnt17 and upgraded intercooler. Went to bed.
Left for work tonight, car had full power. Was snowing so I was driving easy. Went into limp like state again sometime while I was putting around on a city street. Stopped at a light and was limped out.
Some ideas for things to check?
No codes is annoying. Thinking fuel. New VW lift pump last winter, seems to be working good. Car has about 335ooo km. Still on original tandem pump, but I have a new one on hand. Put in new Bosch MAF this spring too when I did the manifold.
