I'm honestly trying to avoid taking it anywhere since it's my only transportation. And since it's limpmode I can still drive it around, just obnoxiously slow accelerating.

And it will be expensive as fuck.

But I'll keep that shop in mind if my injectors get here before this is fixed.

dude, you realize that VW made limp mode for a reason right. stop driving your car around before you seriously mess something up. take it to dave and have him scan it. he'll charge you like 10 bucks or something like that, and while your in there, you can look at my car, and half of the other dubfresh cars that stay in daves shop lol

Yes, I know VW made limpmode for a reason.

...the direct reason it happens is because the car's computer senses a problem and puts the car into limp mode to prevent damage.
I don't have the opportunity to take for a day off work until shutdown starts on the 24th, so why not try to fix it before then myself?

So I think I fixed it. I have some power back anyways and can actually redline it now. I took the N75 out and blew into it and it was clogged so I shot an air compressor through it and threw it back in. It might only be a temporary fix though...heard about shooting a little wd40 in it...not quite sure though...maybe once I get a backup haha.
