Doesnt have to be any lights...

If its over boosting what is set on the map then it will go into limp.

Whats your mods etc..???

[lucas20v]

instead of asking loads of questions do a search for limp mode there are 1 hundered different things that could be wrong,

before you start spending money on parts to fix problem get someone in your area with vag com to scan the car and that will bring up faults.

 

[lucas20v]

even if it not showni any lights up on dash

You can still have some "soft" codes that wont bring up lighs on the dash. vag-com will give you much more scope as where to start from.
