Hey peeps!
My punto has recently developed an issue where if I put my foot down too fast or hard, she goes into limp mode. Gears 1st-3rd are usually fine with hard acceleration etc but 4th-5th gears hate it to the point I'm driving on dual carriageways or motorways and it's going into limp mode. Check engine light and the yellow triangle appear on my dash. I've done some research and I'm leaning more towards the boost pressure sensor. I used an OBD code scanner and it's giving me these codes:
P181D - severe
P1120 - severe
P1120 - minor
We managed to clear all the codes and it was fine until I accelerate again and it goes into limp throwing up the engine light and triangle...
Anyone got any ideas before I scrap my car!!!!!
Thankyou
