P2101 error and limp mode

[JP6]

Any ideas on this one? Keep getting this code and car going into limp mode, annoyingly 200 miles away on holiday with the car. Bought a cheap OBD reader which will reset the code and the car is fine for a while, then it comes back.

310 VZ2.

Potentially. Found that thread when searching yesterday and have removed and cleaned the MAP sensor just incase that’s what was causing it. It was a little bit dirty, nothing like that one though. ?? it cures it for now.

It is weird, seems fine on motorways and high speeds, seems to happen when slowing down/revs are low. Also get lane assist/cruise failures at the same time.

Just a thought ?

Check your air hoses are all on tight and properly secured.

Car is stuck in limp mode permanently now. Called Cupra roadside assistance out who then sent the AA, they couldn’t sort it so car has gone away on flatbed to Cupra. Cupra have hired us a car, quite impressed with the response.

AA reckoned it was exhaust flap and throttle body out of sync, car sounds like it’s misfiring now.

Incase anyone gets the same problem - got car back today, new throttle body, gasket and coolant replaced and all associated bits - all on warranty.

Part was on back order for a few days, not a normal part to fail apparently.

And got a hamper of goodies and two bottles of wine in the post from Cupra today ?? nice service!
