Limp mode is usually something is bad, very bad or shall we say expensive.

 

Like when the oil pump grenades itself on my car, it's designed to let you get to a safe space instead of just stopping for example in the overtaking lane of the motorway.

 

If you had a dpf issue it will, for example limit your revs to say 2000.

I saw a YouTube vid of a McLaren engine rebuild where the oil pump shaft had failed and was surprised that the engine didn't just stop on a fault code rather than running until it seized.

Your ECU should save the code and a decent OBD2 module and app may be enough to help you find the fault. My usual is the 2nd sensor on the CAT failing....got changing that one down to an art!

The OBD2 does allow you to reset non safety warnings and will only come up again if the fault is still present. May just be a bit of shyte on a crank sensor or something like that.
