limp mode on 30 tdi
Posted: 17 Oct 2014 12:02
Hi out there
It would be great if I could get as much advice on this as possable please . My 30 tdi 2001 trol keeps going into limp mode . I have a madman egt and the boost pressure can go from 12 psi to 24 and overboost in seconds and thats while the vehicle is cold and just started for the first time of the day ! Sometimes when it "limps" losing all power completely and then regaining acceleration it emmits a cloud of exhaust fumes , but not everytime . It has also cut out completely on 4 seperate occations . Would hate any of this to happen on the open road !!!! If I take her on a long level road at say 120 kmph she revs at about 2500 pm but the revs fluctuate up and down consistently by about 2 to 300 revs pm . It almost feels like fuel starvation . I notice there is an electric inline fuel pump installed but doesnt seem connected . Is this after market or standard ? Please any advice or contact no for the Right mechanic . I'm relocating back to limpopo / waterberg (vaalwater ) early december , a 2000km plus trip and am already nervous . Thanks . Nick
