Hi
I own a 2009 VW Tiguan 2.0 ltr Diesel! Having topped up with Diesel I left the local station forecourt rapidly to beat heavy traffic in both directions! Like having a rope attached to the rear the car slowed violently & since then will not exceed 2500 RPM! No I didn't top up with petrol in error! The engine management light goes out upon starting! There are no ominous noises & the car has only covered 25457 miles from new! At 72 years old I am not a "boy racer!"
Any suggestions please? Will disconnecting & reconnecting the battery reset the ECU since it would appear "limp home mode" has been executed without any warning lights! The car was serviced at a VW dealer in September 2015 without any alerts & also passed the MOT without any advisories!
