Technical Doblo 1.6 MultiJet Limp Mode

[PJAnderson]

Hi,
I have a Doblo 1.6 Multijet that is going into limp mode when the engine warms up but no warning lights on the dash and no error codes when read with a Topdon Artidiag. Any ideas of what can be causing it?

It won’t be true limp mode otherwise you’d have an engine light and a relevant fault code. More likely to be a physical fault with something like the turbo or an underperforming MAF sensor. You could try taking it for a run with diagnostics plugged in on live date to see what’s happening with boost pressures etc

Many thanks. I will do that tomorrow and see what info come up.

Went to take it out and it started but wouldn't rev at all. Just sat at idle no matter how far the accelerator was pressed. Eventually revved up with a ploom of smoke out the back but now revving. Will try again as don't wont to take it out if its not going to get me home. Still no lights on the dash or error codes. Anyone any ideas?
