I had a similar problem with one of our T-Jets- took me ages to find the issue. Kept going into limp mode with lots of warnings. Turned out to be the throttle position sensor. New accelerator pedal (with built in sensor )fixed the problem for not a lot.

Having similar problems with my car it is not running the recirculating valve properly either, seems to be a common fault, have you notice the recirc valve not working possibly your engine light? Maybe I can hear it because I’ve a cone filter on mine you get that stustustustu turbo noise.

As mentioned above, it took me literally years to fix our T Jet with similar issues.
New battery- Not fixed.
New brake light switch- not fixed.
New battery earth lead- not fixed.
New throttle pedal position sensor- fixed.
I still had occasional ASR failure and a steering warning light- this was the torque position sensor in the electric steering motor- had to fit a new electric motor to fix this. FINALLY no warning lights now!

What are the fault codes stored in ecu?
