Title: Limp mode, VAG COM question? Post by: plush on August 09, 2013, 04:14:25 PM I think I might be in limp mode, but I'm not sure.
I can't reach beyond 5psi and I am running a stage 1 file with piggies and exhaust. I have flashed over 4 different files via Nefmoto and a Vag-Com cable. Various stage 1 and stage 2 files, just to get SOMETHING to work. Even when I bought it, I never broke 5-6psi on a stock map. I scanned with Vag Com in the VCDS lite program and got this error code: 17866 Exhaust Gas Temp Sensor 2 (G236) Short to Ground P1458 35 - 00. I have cleared it once, but it came back on immediately after a 2 minute drive. Could this be triggering limp mode? Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or how I can fix this?
