three years of LIMP MODE , now fixed
hi eveyrone i'm new to this site
i have a golf mkv fsi 1.4 2005, since 2008 the car has been going into limp mode, i tried every garage but none helped, the main dealer was even worse charging me well over £1400 fixing the wrong stuff, i went back and forth to them but the problem was never sorted.
the symptom: the car goes constantly in limp mode(loss of power) when the weather is hot, during winter it goes into limp mode but not as much summer, and long drives are worse, especially motorways, if i drive over 70mph the limp mode comes on quicker than if i was driving in between 60mph and 70mph. the temporary fix in motorways is to switch off the car then put it back on, and when the engine gets hot it triggers the limp mode too. the car loses so much power when going up hill.
the code: the fault code is p0191 fuel rail pressure sensor A circuit range/performance.
what i've tried so far:
research
Spent over £1400 at vw main dealer (couldn't fix the car)
replaced nox sensor
new map sensor
two coil packs replaced
new fuel rail pressure sensor
new fuel pump
new air filter
fuel system service
cat convert check
and more lots of lots of lots of research on the internet (almost everyday )
tried most forums but no luck.
Car now fixed. replaced the pressure sensor g247, new in tank fuel pump (very different from old one), new injection pump and cleaned fuel tank plus 4 brand new bosch coil packs
thank you all for helping out,
