I am new to this forum so a big hello from me. I bought a Q5 2010 for my wife. After a while the engine light came on and the glow plug light and went to limp mode. Went to a mechanic and he said to leave with him he said it was a common fault and need to go on a VAG COM. he then told me it is coming up with Turbo and other things. After a few days I took it from him he said that he had cleared everything. But a problem keeps on continuing. while driving it went into limp mode when just kicking it a little on a motorway. The glow plug light came up and the car went into limp mode. We then called the AA and he said that a sensor showed the air filter problem and it was dirty and he sorted it. and he drove it around it was fine. I asked my wife to drive it easy until i get it serviced which has been but now when she has accelerated it like 300 revs then the glow plug started flashing and going to limp mode again. When switched it off then it is better and no glow plug light. Can any one help please. Thank you Viq

Hi I had my 2013 Audi A3 1.6TDI remapped from 105hp to 135hp about 9 months ago, never had any problems been fantastic. But recently when accelerating hard the engine will pretty much go into limp mode and the coil shaped light starts flashing? As soon as I pull over turn the engine on and back off the light goes and the car works perfectly. It has always started first time. When scanning with the Carista OBd scanner 6 Faults detected - I get Heater & Air conditioning - 262914 Central Electronics - 262934, 266756, 267030, 787211, 787465 Could it just be as simple as replacing the glow plugs or would they not affect the car when accelerating? Thanks any advice is useful
