2009 3L engine light

Post by Africansafarifilms »

Hey guys

just bought a 2009 3L D4D DC 4x4 Auto, vehicle is in amazing condition. Only issue I had was on the highway, from a stand still to 120km/h I put foot and as soon as it hit 120 the engine light came on and limp mode engaged. Pulled over and shut off, started it up again and no issues.

any idea what this could be or what I should do. Yes I know, don’t weerligstraal it like that but I’m just afraid one day I try overtake a truck and it does this again.

many help would be great. Thanks all

How would I know if it’s been chipped or decat?
