Drove my 2009 JCW Clubbie home from dealer (100 mi) following clutch replacement, sparkplug replacement, and oil change. On next startup that afternoon, I get the big yellow Check Engine Light on tach display. Car is now in limp mode...no turbo boost. The check Engine Light persists, but there are no codes shown on car or OBDll tool?? Anyone know what this could be? Hate to drive back to dealer for something simple. I've checked for loose hoses, electrical connections, etc. TIA

If there's a CEL, there's a code. What scanner are you using?
With the car in Limp Mode, it's something significant and should be easy to trace with a Bavarian Technic scan tool.

Would be a smart thing to return the vehicle to have things looked at.

Unrelated; how many miles on the vehicle before clutch replacement?
Was it totally shot or start of slipping?

Just using a Scangauge, (A Bavarian tool is on my Christmas list). The flatbed is coming tomorrow to return the Clubbie to the dealer.

The clutch had just started slipping (30k mi). It was replaced with no charge, no hassle.

What did you find out on this? I have the same no code issue that happened today. My car feels the same to me, but I have only owned it for a week. Its a used 2008 S.

 

Sorry for the late reply! Problem was a loose hose connection between turbo and manifold. It was only leaking under boost. Still don't know why it wouldn't show a code??
