JonnyBQ7 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hi I’ve got an ongoing intermittent issue with my 2011 Q7 3.0TDI, on occasions under acceleration it flags up a “don’t exceed 2500 rpm” and puts the car into restricted mode (limp home). When you key on and off again it clears. Plus it doesn’t store any permanent fault codes! I’ve had it in a dealers several times but they’ve unable to find the fault.. anyone had anything similar?

rodhodgson Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I have the same issue on my 2007 3.0tdi Q7, I think it may be a faulty actuator on the turbo, yet to diagnose formally. How did you get on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodhodgson Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I replaced my turbo (reconditioned) and actuator, I was told that if the fault was intermittent it’s most likely the turbo vanes sticking and if it was continuous it could be the actuator. Mine was intermittent particularly if I restarted the car whilst still warm. £1350 later including parts and labour and the car now runs perfect.
