It did NOT have this CODE, but it had the same symptoms (rough running after first start, noticeable hiccups (with accompanying rpm drop every 10 sec for a minute or so).
Could the code and cold start hiccups and rough idle be attributed to intake valve carbon build up (like i have seen and addressed and a lot of 2.0T engines)? Car has 80k miles, had mechatronic problems (fixed), uncertain maintenance history.
So guess what...You have 2 different problems...
First of all your tune is not working and that is bringing you to a safe mode situation.
idle problems usually come from air leaks / bad sensors and some kind of hardware issue
4 steps.
1.Make you car stock
2.Fix the first issue "rough idle and such"
3.Get a proper tune.
4.Flash and run happily ever after.
Your engine platform apart from an oil pressure sensor issue and some bad compressor clutches is bullet proof if you take a good care and do the services in time. Have seen more problems gearbox related.
