Hello all,
About 2 years ago our Cali (T5.1 2014 180) developed issues while on holiday. A range of error codes came up which couldn’t be dealt with so sadly she was recovered back to the UK. This resulted in a new ‘main’ CPU supplied from VW at not a small cost which was fitted by a garage I’ve used for years who's service is unquestionable.
All was well until this week whenI had a warning of an error in the Stop/Start system, which cleared on restarting the vehicle.
My better half was then taking the Cali to the garage for an MOT and service, when the van went into limp mode. Having spoken briefly to the garage, they’re saying that various fault codes are coming up but if cleared, the faults are intermittent with mechanics driving the vehicle with no problem but after a second test drive returning to limp mode again.
I’m speaking with the garage later today to confirm the nature of the fault codes et cetera, the garage say it could be something as simple as a loose connection somewhere in the system, or at worse a wider issue they don’t know about.
I was wondering does anyone out there know of a T5/Cali electrical specialist who can hunt down the cause of this problem? We are based in Bedfordshire, but are willing to speak to anyone anywhere in the first instance. Must ask, could these issues be related to EGR issues (We have a Type A cooler)? Though when running there is not excessive oil use etc? I have vague memories of browsing this forum someone mentioning a wonder auto electrician but the search function is down again.
We are due to go to Croatia in 6 weeks would really like to get this bottomed out and have our confidence returned.
Many thanks
