Hi all.
I am struggling to diagnose the problem with my A2. In hot weather the car puts it self in limp mode/ puts EM light and power steering light on and once or twice cut power steering. I had the throttle body changed to try and fix the problem but no luck. It felt better however it still felt weak/underpowered during cornering. Then yesterday and today it started going into limp mode ect.. . again!!! All of the faults I have had have been during 2nd gear going round a left hand corner 9/10 times. I have checked multiple vacuum lines, wiring harnesses and earth straps to check for obvious problems but nothing out of the ordinary. I have also checked the intercooler for burst seals as that puts the car in limp mode in hot weather. The coolant and power steering fluid is full so cant be that. The garage dont seem to know what else could be wrong.
I was wondering if anyone in the Manchester area could give assistance with 'VCDS' computer scanning.
If you can help please PM me.
Cheers
Josh
