Hi everyone, i recently bought a toledo tdi from 03( few weeks ago to be precise ). the car goes into limp mode at high revs... i was told by a garage that it was the turbo sticking, the guy performed some kind of cleaning with some product, putting it thru the intercooler, dont even know if this is possible!!? charged 250£ .. car still goes into limp mode at high revs and now i started to hear a noise coming from the turbo, sounds kind of like metal with metal, i cant actually hear it very loud i assume its just starting. .. i know its not the maf ( tried this) ... There is also another problem, the Mil , (check engine light) doesnt come on at all, not even when i turn the key to the on position doesnt light up AT ALL, checked the fuses, checked the "bulbs behind the dash all seems fine.... is it possible that this ppl have placed some kind of eliminator to trick me? please help i am a lady and dont understand alot about this things, im about to give up and lose 2k.. any help will be greatly apreciated.. ty

 

Welcome to the forum.

Sorry we don't have a Seat section so I've move this into General Tech.

The usual problem with limp home mode on a TDI is the vacuum pipe lines have cracked or come loose, check the condition of all vacuum lines on the engine.
