Advice on limp mode needed

Post by JoshH19 »

Hi All,

So.. around a month ago i bought a Scirocco. Everything's great apart from the car going in to limp mode whenever i exceed 80ish mph. I understand the previous owner got the dpf removed, but instead of deleting it off of the ecu, they cut the wires going to the sensors?? Stupid I know, and i'm sure no-ones had this issue but it's worth a try! What's the best course of action for me to take? Is simply re-wiring the wires easier said than done, and does anyone know how much i'd be looking at to fully resolve this?

Advice would be very much appreciated.

Just return the problem to the seller. Havent you made a test drive with it?
Otherwise coding the dpf out is the cheapest solution i think.
