gregers Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Posted June 8, 2009 nah that would be too easy,will do hopefully tommoroz,just wondered if someone might know what the problem could be. Quote
srafferty Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 The fact that it went OK after a restart would suggest it had beed in limp mode. You will need to check for error codes which will be stored from this occurance. As I'm sure you're aware since you're not new on here :) it could be any one of about 50000000 things.

big_kev Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Dodgy brake or clutch switch....possibly sticking. Temporary fuel problem.....tesco's diesel. Dodgy driver.....possibly getting old. Quote
CatherineS Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 No expert, but I have had this happen to me last year and it turned out to be the Air Flow Mass Meter.... Quote

CERTAINLY AINT THE 3RD ONE <_ cheeky git.> its been behaving it self today accelarating like it should,so ill wait till the weekend before pluging in the vag,from what i have read on here over the years about limp home mode i was thinking it didnt rev above a certain point?and you were virtually stuck at below 40mph,with mine lastnight it slowly crept up past 6OMPH(MMMM).once i restarted it was free reving like it should,as ive never suffered anything like this before i have to put down to the so called gremlins that infect the galaxys from time to time.
