Passat 2008 2.0CR TDI EML and flashing glow plug light

Hi

I have posted on here before about this but the problem seems to have changed

first of when you start the car it runs ok for the first few miles then the power starts to fade away If you then come across a hill for example and apply power to car will then go into limp mode If you then switch off the engine and back on again it seems to reset and again is ok for a few miles and the power is back to normal

Now when I start the car the eml comes on and the glow plug light starts to flash after about 500 yards of driving but the power is still there and then starts to fade after about 5 miles of driving

also not sure if its my imagination but its seems to be worse if I dont use the car for a day or 2 and if cold

many thanks

jason

Ideally you need a fault code scan done.

Thanks Chris

would I be able to read these with the VCDS lite version

Thanks

No. You need fulll vcds to read this car. A common fault on these is failed boost actuator, but you need a scan to confirm it.

Thanks Martin

I will find someone locally hopefully that will have these and see what it comes up with

Had my codes read today and this is what came back
