Hi all, here is an extremely vague one for you all
My friends sister recently purchased a 2004 A3 2.0 tdi and thats all I can say spec wise at this stage
She bought it from a garage in Bromley Kent just about a week ago and it has gone into limp mode,the garage have told her that it will be ok to drive the 40/50 miles back to them in order that they might deal with the problem.
My mate knowing that I am an Audi nut asked me the following;
1, is it safe to run like this when the fault is "unknown"
2, am I right in suggesting this is a job for VAGCOM
3, as there are a million reasons for the car to go "safe" are there any particularly common faults or common offenders which crop up more than others
4, is this usually down to a dud sensor upsetting the ecu
5, is it really more a case of getting a code read and then asking all of the above with more details or is it question 3
UNFORTUNATELY this is all I have to go on but I hope the Forum can offer some peace of mind
Many thanks in anticipation
Stuart
