Limp Mode 2008 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg Edition

[Bobby718]

Hey guys! Your suggestions would be appreciated.

I've been dealing with my car going into limp mode for about a week and I can turn on the car but I have to hit the gas to allow it to turn on. When the car is warmed up I can drive it without going into limp mode. (about a distance of 4 miles) After that, it begins giving me a hard time. This is the code that I keep getting and I don't know what to do at this point.

Ima go out on a limb and say to check you ground wiring. My mk4 had ABS, AirBag, and Brake codes. I corrected 2 bad grounds and all cleared out.

I have been told that it is most likely an electrical issue. Where would I start though?

Not sure about yours, but mine has 3 body grounds under the battery tray. I removed the tray and the 3 grounds. Cleaned them and applied some dielectric lube and put them back on. Cleared codes and was good to go.

Will def check it out. Thanks. I found this on the Ross-Tech site so electrical is something that might solve the problem.

Yep. Could be that simple.

Update: I was looking at all of the hoses and there is one just hanging not connected to anything. Also, there is a wire that has melted. I had some work done not too long ago due to a coolant leak. I'm wondering if during that process of replacing the hose they screwed something up.
