Title: limp mode
Post by: robson on 20 December 2021, 10:49:57: My other halfs Volvo S40 2.0 diesel 57 reg with turbo now and again goes into limp mode. She switches ignition off and restarts and its ok Would an engine cleaner such as Wynns help this problem.
Happy Christmas to all. :y

Post by: Andy B on 20 December 2021, 13:22:18: any fault codes? When my R Class did this, it was the electric turbo actuator that was at fault, needless to say that MB would only supply a new actuator complete with a new turbo. I had the actuator refurb'd .... which kinda worked for a while.

If it is the actuator, they are available new for around £80. But there's a few things it could also be.

Have you tried a cleaner such as Ajax applied with a brillo pad?

Man said he liked to pleasure himself with a cheese grater. :-X :-X :-X :-X

I think I'll pass on that one. ;D
