Going up the hill to the next village this morning I thought have I got the wrong gear 'cos its not pulling like it should. I hadn't and the car wasn't. No accelerator response beyond a certain pedal position and lethargic acceleration. After about five miles parked up in town and went to do what I had to do. Came back an hour later, fired it up and drove off; back to normal :confused: . Stopped off at the village shop for a few minutes, fired it up to drive home; down the pan again :confused: :confused: .
Called my dealer's service manager who said "bring it and we'll have a look". So out I go, fire it up and this time "boing" it chimes and up on the MFD comes "Emissions. Garage." and the EMS warning light has stayed on. So I call again to check its OK to drive and it is so off I set, having been told the usual reason is a failed sensor in the exhaust system.
It turns out to be a failure in the wiring loom so some bits have been ordered and I should have it back Monday or Tuesday. Meantime I've got a Golf Plus TDI on free loan.
When I collect it I'll get some more info.and post on here. Didn't want to spend any more time today as I was needing my ;) lunch and its an hours drive home.
