    No Acceleration, car in limp mode?

    Hi, my wife came home this afternoon telling me the car had no acceleration.
    i turned it on and it started vibrating and engine was struggling.
    I also noticed it had no oil. Could this be the problem?
    I run a diagnostic scan and this is what came up:
    MY10 Tiguan 125TSI /APR Stage 2

    I'd be looking at the faults that occurred yesterday. There's several errors that were earlier in the vehicle history. Sorry can't be much more help but I'd be looking at the throttle position error as a start. Have you changed/upgraded the accelerator pedal?

    Yeah, have a look at the throttle pedal checked out. Abit strange to have both senders throw faults as the internal circuits and external wiring are separate from each other.

    I was driving the car earlier with sprint booster on and changed it back to normal before the wife took it. Might be a good idea to remove it.

    Yep that would be the first thing to check. Could even be a dodgy connection/connector unplugged. Worst case is to remove it and see if the problem goes away.

    Clear the faults out. And see what comes back. Google any fault codes and see what the Ross tech wiki says. Control pressure not reached could be a boost pipe off. E u sees lots of air go into engine, but most gets blown overboard. Codes in abs and auto are due to engine faults so ignore them for now.
