Im not sure what happend but my Audi a4 got stuck in limp mode the other day and i can not get it to go back to normal.
I have put in :
cam sensor
crank sensor
waste gate solenoid
and had maf checked.
The car only has 94k on it and i live 30 minutes from an audi dealer. The car wont go over 40 mph or over 3k rpm. traction control is on epc/esp is on as well. resets on turn off buy if i try to drive it comes back on. the battery is also brand new. Im looking at replacing the abs sensors but not sure if that will fix the issue .

 

I'm new here an the audi fam. Love the caf but this limp/safe mode ish is for the birds. I have seen remarks on this thing called VAG COM. I'm trying to find out more about it as I think I'd like to buy one cause since the wife has seen how much I like the my caf now she want one. I'll definitely post up when I know more tho, sorry I can't be much help to ya right now.

 

VAG COM is a cable and software that allows you to pull all kinds of data from the computer and to make changes. Before wasting any more money on parts get a code reader (cheap one will work or have a nearby parts store pull them for you) and pull your codes. Whatever is going on your car thinks it needs to stay in safe mode (might be for a good reason).

 

Found it online. $200. Plus shipping. Pretty sure I'm gonna order it when I get my next check or maybe sooner if my race bike sell lol
