problem #1

Jetta Sportline 2.5L 5 cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 74,565 miles

The check engine light came on and I couldn't drive the car over 3000 RPM. The two knock sensors that are located under the engine were rusted and providing false information to the ECU, which caused the limp mode. The dealer had to replace the two knock sensors and clear the code.
