    sounds like it was in limp home mode, so you need to start diagnosing the problem, pull the error codes out of the ECU it could just be a sensor failure on the box.

    Mel, first off welcome to CVR4

    Given your location, I'd suggest the Australian FTO club, I personally know a couple of members, I'm sure they'll point you in the right direction...

    When you join, send Aza013 a PM, just mention that I pointed you in his direction, if Aaron doesn't know whats going on with your car, then he'll quickly point you in the direction of a member who can help!

    Has the heater matrix on the car had a problem recently?

    Input and output speed sensors would be the first check otherwise.

    Cheers,

    Ben.
