Help!! Limp mode

[Sam-27]

Hello all.

Around 2 weeks ago I had electrical faults on my t6. Told I needed new alternator and battery. Had this done at a local garage. A week later my dashboard was flashing with the yellow coil light and the van would go into limp mode at 3000 revs. Took to the same garage this week they said that the van was very low on oil and there was a fuse broken. So oil and filter change and new fuse done got the van back yesterday drove home fine then this morning the same thing is still happening!! The van also says start stop error when starting. Has anyone had these issue or know what this may be. I’m clueless when it comes to to cars/vans

A dying battery dan cause strange behaviour such as this, albeit notnthe low oil bit.

I did think this and also if there’s was low oil surely I would have had a warning light appear. The battery has been replaced for brand new one. Which is why I’m confused I’m still having issues

Probably not the battery then, but don't take it for granted the new one isn't wonky. Wouldn't be the first.

What was the fuse for? New battery coded to the van?

I get a stop start error that hangs around for a while every time I disconnect the battery so I wouldn't worry about that one personally.

Do you know how low the oil level was? The dash warning light probably wouldn't have illuminated unless the oil level was way off the bottom of the dipstick.

Have you physically checked the oil again? I know it shouldn't be low so soon after the garage staff topped it up but surely it's worth checking.

It sounds like the garage read the fault codes and "determined" what they thought was wrong, corrected it and then cleared the fault code.
Often fault codes don't come back immediately and suspect this is the case with your van.
If you could ask them what the fault code was, it may give us a better idea of what the issue is.
