Yesterday
I testdrove quite a bit and im able to reproduce the limp mode. (every time)

Start at 5 or 6 gear at 1500 rpms full trottle (before kick down). if i stay on
the pedal with max boost at 2500 it comes first stutter and then limp.
If i lift the pedal as soon the stutter starts no limp.
After Limp and restart i can drive maybee once without stutter but after it comes.
This happens just in 5 and 6 gear.

now a second thing we know from 2.0...
if i "kick down" the limp mode comes when it changes from 4 to 5 gear at max rpm (7100 or so).

Today
Cheked cables/connections and those look fine to me. will check tomorrow with a MM.

Switched on the valet feature and it works fine after that. No Limp at all.

This shaking engine after start didnt show up since last time but its also a few degrees warmer in the morning.

By the way I'm spinning wheels on all 4 from first to second gear

Thanks for your inputs
