Limp Home Mode...Help !

Yanto · 11-07-2010, 02:24 PM

Guys

Stuck 200 miles from home at folks place, this just started when I was out in the car this morning (actually overtaking a car which was fun

).

Pulled over stopped, restarted and OK...then it repeated once more and has now stopped again and have driven c.10 miles without problem...

Assume best advice to drive at low revs / sensible speed / soft acceleration...and get it booked in - anything else ?

Cheers

What's come up on the dash?

If they are yellow engine or EML yes limp home

RED engine leave it there

Cheers Shim..

Was just the EML and Traction control light (not the engine light) which came on (both now off).

Might be stooopid question, but this happened straight after jetwashing car thoroughly - possible water on sensors / electrics ??
