Default New guy with a3

Hi I'm new on here so hi.
Iv just bought a 2001 a3 1.9tdi pd 110bhp.
My problem with the car is that today under acceleration it went into limp mode but without a light on the dash. When I turn on the ignition I can't see a engine light. Does it work on glow plug light or should there be a separate light?
Also any possible causes of this problem would be great, I'm going to try an get codes read next week when I get a day off.
Other than that I'm really pleased with the car.
Any help would be apprieciated
Cheers dan

I been looking today and found a vacuum hose that as been rubbing! It's not split but it is very weak. It's the one to the turbo do you think this could be at fault.
Cheers dan
P.s. no fault codes stored
