Thread: Limp mode!

Never had any prob's with my PUMA, but the old D3 used to have yellow light after yellow light.

The dealer said that you can disconnect battery for a few minutes and then re-connect. (negative terminal first)

This is basically a reset and should work for most faults. In any case it can't hurt anything or do other damage.

Might be worth a shot, Good luck.

Thanks Drover will give it a go

No that didn't work...up to the dealer then!

Thanks anyway

Anybody else had this happen on a Puma?

Loose turbo pipes seem common on Puma's. I spent a good time yesterday with a spanner re aligning my top hose that was quite loose, could not get a socket or screwdriver in to tighten or loosen it. Didn't go into limp mode though.

while it seems a pain in the bum, the way a common rail diesel goes into limp mode nearly makes it impossible to do any real damage to your engine.
i would say the loose pipes may have been a minor slip in quality assurance.
hope it all works out well!

we have had mil lights and what we found if its not a huge problem which this isn't then the car will reset itself I think after 3 drives (I think, maybe 5 cant remember now) providing it is driving normally the light will go out but the problem logs in the computer. if the problem is still there of course the mil light will re illuminate once it has cycle through.

from memory though you cant just turn engine on and off x number of times it has to be driven.
