So i just got back home from my long trip 1350 kms in one day and had two limp modes today. 2 months and some 4000 kms after the software update that "fixed" my long cranks it happenned: first when i was accelerating hard and changed from 5th to 6th on the highway when the rpm hit about 5,5-6k.
I pulled over, restarted car and it was back to normal. Second one happened when i was going top speed in sixth gear at about 5,5-6k rpm and 260 kph (german highway). Frustrated is the least to say, dangerous? Not that much but scary.
I will have to book it at the dealer but im worried because i just remapped the ecu a few days ago, could the remap expose the faulty pump or they are not related and same would happen even if i didnt remap to ecu? (uk eqiuvalent of dinan)
