1.9 130 sport tempoary power loss

[trevor simpson]

Good day All .
Whilst driving along the motorway in 5th gear (Top )when i went to accelerate ,the car would not pull .
I turned off into the motorway services and engine idled ok and continued to run . I turned off the ignition and checked under the bonnet and found nothing amiss. ( no dash lights )check said ok !
Started the engine and had no problems with the remainder of the journey ,or any problems since.
I wonder if any one else has had any problems like this ?
car is 02 1.9 tdi 130 sport manual with 61K on the clock .
Any ideas ?
Kind regards Trevor Simpson.

Have a fault code read done; it will come up with code 17964 or 17965, more than likely the latter.

Hi Crasher , what do these faults point to ? i am going to belgium next week and dont really want to get european AA out .
regards Trevor.

They both cause the engines computer to go into limp home mode which you reset by turning the ignition off and on again. I don’t want to speculate without a fault code read, it is very important you get that done as soon as possible.
