Re: VW limp mode
No sparkplugs here! 
That actually crossed my mind last night and will probably be one of the things on the list
Yes, I know. I will get them read this weekend, but in case one isn't thrown I'm building up some ideas to check.
Yes it is diesel. And I always have a code thrown because my EGR is removed (to prevent cleaning the intake manifold), and I have a bad #2 glowplug. So...tell me what mods I've done for the karma?

Re: VW limp mode

Re: VW limp mode
Codes Thrown:
Bad MAF (expected, its 90k miles old)
and P1556
The guy said the P1556 might be from the bad MAF but he also said he's never seen it before.
Soo...I'll be ordering a new MAF and seeing if the codes go away.

Re: VW limp mode
Bad mafs are very common for 1999.5-2002 TDIs. Order a new OE one from dieselgeek.com or get a pierburg from www.worldimpex.com If you are stock you will pick up a few psi/hp from the peierburg.
