ENGINE SPEED SENSOR MK5 GOLF 5DR 2.0 TDI 4MOTION
« on: October 10, 2015, 03:07:19 pm »
Hey, apologies if this is in the wrong website/forum! Looking for some information/guidance on a MK5 golf ive recently bought. Picked the car up one month ago and 5 mins into driving engine glow light comes on and ESP Turns off. Car wont start freely and low on power. Took to garage and diagnosed with engine speed sensor fault (possibly on the crank) Fault code was cleared and told to put some mileage on the car as it was left still for 2 months. Problem re-occurred again today and even more difficult to start and turned on "limp mode" with car not revving over 3000rpm. Took to VW and same problem although it clears when the car is locked and left for a while. Any info/recommendations please? Very stresses atm  :mad:
