Multivan 2006 does not rev over 1500rpm
Hi,this is my first thread ever. I am devastated. I purchased a Multivan 2006, turbo diesel 2.5lt with only 110000 km on the clock thinking there should not be much wrong with this low milage. What a mistake. the next morning i drove 100 meters from home up a steep hill and the car went into limp mode. I turned it of and started again and drove 30km to a shop and 30km back and the car ran ok. the next day i noticed that the engine was a bit oily at the front left hand side. I decided to clean it with degreaser and hosed it down with water. ( like I have done with all my cars over the last 50 years and never had any problems with starting afterwards.) But now I have a big problem. 3 days later, everything is dry, the car starts right away but when i press the accelerator it only revs up to 1500 rpm and then shows the blinking coil warning light and of course has no power. I have the car booked in next week but i cannot even drive there. I have read nearly everything about limp mode and the cause of it but it makes no sense to me why the car does not run after wash down of part of the engine. Would anybody have an idea how i could get it running again so i could drive to the workshop?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
