Going by the Delphi part I would assume mk6, if so get the code read but be prepared for new injectors. N

I'll check them today but have to admit I don't have an awful lot of faith in codes/sensors etc. The engine management light has been on for 18months, code says the engine is suffering from excess turbo pressure, yet there is nothing wrong with it. I feel the sensors by large create more problems than they solve and provide dealers with windfall type billing opportunities.

That was done because it was throwing up a fault code and the Ford bandits wanted £400 to replace the EGR valve. At the time I was tearing my hair out at the continuous barrage of component failures, a situation that remains. After that the engine management light came on again and I purchased a reader which is where the excess turbo boost comes in, but for all I know it may have been displaying the same code when it was in the bandit's garage.
However, as i said, the EGR was blanked off a couple of years ago and the limp mode is a relatively new problem. I have noticed if I keep the revs to around 2000 it doesn't go into limp so often, and when it does usually recovers on it's own after around a quarter mile. As there is no error code being thrown up for this I'm wondering if it may be a fuel starvation issue and nothing to do with the rail sensor at all.
