My car has been dropping into limp mode for a couple of years now, fixed by stopping and restarting engine. At first problem every couple of months now cannot exit limp mode. Car does drive ok on manual gear change, 7 speed tronic box. Main dealer says it the intake shut-off motor and maybe needs new intake too - wants lots of dosh! Have checked fuse 54 and not blown. Seen some references to oil dripping from turbo onto connector underneath causing ECU error. Does anybody recognize these symptoms? Also interested in the idea of disconnecting connector and bridging two middle terminals with a resistor to fool the ecu!
