    2016 Element limp mode

    Posting on behalf of my brother.

    He recently purchased a 2016 TDI Element from the dealer.
    It has gone into limp mode several times and is now at the dealer.

    Any ideas on where they should be looking? Is this a common problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    There's no chance of guessing what's wrong. As it's warranty I assume, then I'd wait for the dealers to part with the information.

    Dealer found nothing wrong, had the vehicle for 5 days and drove it around with the test equipment connected. Unable to fault.
    Would the vehicle computer record the parameters that caused the limp mode event?
