Ooo er missus

No. Not that kind of vag

15 plate golf gtd

Keeps going into limp mode, has low boost and poor mpg

Managed to capture the fault codes here- what are you seeing that doesn’t look right before I throw a load of cash at this and send it to a specialist

Cheers

Intake air temperature 71 degrees C?
Where does it read that from?

It’s got more sensors on the damn thing than the e3 sentries at Waddington!!
And who ever thought it was a good idea to put an oil filter housing upside down on the front of the engine needs a slap

I was more interested in whether that was a logical value or not tbh?

You havent indicated mileage or how the miles are covered but its very similar issues to a Golf GT Tdi i had on 85k , Mrs W was using it for town car short journeys odd mway drive occasionally .
Limp mode would trigger when asking for power under load so 3rd gear doing 40ish then wanting to go 4th up to 60ish .
My specialist VAG guy suggested it was a sensor linked to EGR / turbo / injectors ( i'm gong back over 10 yrs so not totally 100% )
anyways he said he had seen same symptoms many times over & yes he could start replacing parts until it was sorted but suggested i use Forte treatment for at least 3 tank fulls before getting into any big spend .
Sure nough this "cured " the problem in that try as i could after around 1000m running the additive i couldn't get fault mode to trigger .
From owning that car i have used additive in any TD vehicles ive owned . Used Millers Ecomax once a month , costs £15 for enough to last 12 months , its easier to pevent these issues happening than to cure once happened .

There are many reviews online of both , these are just random

Had been running for about 15 mins- but see what you mean about it being high

If it was parked up I could see that but the reading was while you were doing 89kmh apparently.
I was surprised to see air entering the engine at that temperature, but no idea where it is reading it from.
