limp mode

W204 OM642 engine with 215,000 miles. Was driving home and the car would only shift up at 3000rpm (normally 1500rpm). Felt like loss of turbo power although I could still get up to 70mph which was not my experience in other cars where limp mode kicked in or turbo failed. No dash lights or...
