Hi can anyone tell me what if any warning lights are to come on when my vehicle losses power (limp mode?)?

I have had no malfunctions or warning lights appear in the two occassions whilst my car did the limp thing!!!
thanks

If the MAF was going faulty this may not put the lamp on but could cause it go into the limp home mode

yes thats what the techi said y.day! After having the Mercedes Mobilo man come on (didn’t think he was all that) he suggested the turbo unit. One of the reasons I think he was getting confused was all the faults that had ever happened had been left on plus it was nearly 5 and he wanted to get home. (ha, he said that one entry stored was because all my 4 sensors have been knocked out!!! ... ) I found out this was just where the wheels have 'spun' and its been recorded! lol and the turbo unit which I would have had to replace would have cost in the region of £1500 - luckily for me I got a techi to check and he put it down the mass air meter/ flow or something! mmmmmm !

If you buy one, go to a Bosch service center to get the best price
