  3. 2.0 Liter Gas
    I have a 2001 VW Beetle with automatic transmission. A few years ago it went into limp mode so we took it in for diagnostics and it came back with codes 281 & 297 for transmission speed sensor and driving speed sensor. At that time they checked the sensor connection and tested sensors. The...

    So long story short our New beetle sat for months and the battery completely drained and has lost communication with the TCM. You get no gears or numbers under the mileage on the tach and it's obviously in some sort of limp mode. So we tried to go about messing with the TCM via VCDS software...

    Hi, If I'm driving on freeway or up a long incline my car will go into a limp mode and the check engine light comes on. Other than cleaning out the intake, is there another problem causing these symptoms? I've had the intake cleaned once before but didn't make much difference in...
  9. 1.8 Liter Turbo
    So I recently bought a 01 NB Gls 1.8t.. Black, love it so much! After 6 days of owning it I was pulling into the parking lot at my work. I'm a delivery driver.

    Well here is some good news on my quest to get rid of limp mode. I replaced my valve with the stock one, and I got my boost back in spurts. She'll run fine for a while, then switch to limp mode all of a sudden. Not to mention the fact that I have a code reading "Secondary Air Injection Pump...
