Limp mode and fault codes

[Honeypotshots]

So this morning while heading up to my friends the engine management light came on along with the exhaust light and then the car went into limp mode.
I went to the nearest garage and grabbed a man with a code reader and here are the results : the car is still under warranty

they could be stored fault code so they need to be cleard then read again to see which remain

Thanks for the tip I’ll give it a go

Quick update, looks like my mass airflow sensor picked up the fumes from a dirty van in front of me that was blowing thick black smoke out the back end. Since I have had all codes reset ( thank you for that advice) and retested and now no faults present. Took me all day to get this sorted driving up and down roads to see if limp mode restarted but for the grand total of £30 I think I got off light

So not the mass sensor picking up fumes! A week later same thing happens ( although was driving perfect during that week) so now back in the garage to be checked over and fixed

At least this time your fault codes will all be relevant.

Worth noting, I generally use a friends cheap £25 diagnostic kit and its always bought up the code. On the off chance you may need to read codes in the future, its probably worth a look for one cheap.

Thank you, yes I was going to look at getting one ( I’m turning into quite the little mechanic now lol)
so after diagnosing there seems to be no actual fault ( we shall see) there was a loose wire, so more driving and see if it happens again

So far so good lol but to save myself further spending, anyone no of a good cheap code reader? That I can use to reset the codes myself if needed. Thanks in advance

The saga continues...... my car has gone into limp mode 3 times now, each time it’s coming up with maf sensor. The wires were loose so have been re crimped, but again I find myself in limp mode, I have noticed that each time this happens it’s been a cold morning with frost on the ground. Do any of you think my maf sensor needs cleaning? From the service receipts the maf was replaced 8 months ago

Replaced with genuine?
