Seat Toledo Mk3 Constant Limp Mode
Hi, wondered if anyone can diagnose my problem?
I have a 2006 Mk3 Seat Toledo. Was running fine until today, when suddenly lost power (above 3000 rpm).
I tried turning on/off again, but this seemed to do nothing.
Opening the bonnet, there appeared to be nothing visually wrong with the car, but noticed when the car was revved above 3000 rpm, the pipe on the left hand side of the turbo was compressing and the turbo itself could be heard 'whirring'.
Also, black smoke is coming from the exhaust. (Which I would assume would be because there is not the correct mix of fuel/air).
There is no fault light on the dash.
From reading up on the net, the problem could be the mass airflow sensor as the problem is constant.
Could someone please confirm my prediction, or am I way off the mark? (I am unable to put the car on a diagnostic machine until next week).
Many thanks in advance,
