  • Stuck on side of road

    So I had an engine light come on flashing. Slowed down and turned the car off, now the light is flashing but I have no power under acceleration and barely move at walking pace. Last week I replaved my coils with R8 ones. Any suggestions?
    The car is a 2007 MKV GTI with APR stage 2

    Roadside googling and diagnostics point to a PCV issue as when I pull out the dipstick I hear a sucking noise. Is there a way to drive home with this?

          Thank you Miloscz! I fixed it, turns out the APR antitheft turned on. No idea why. Back on the road again

                  Ah the life living with tuned Euros! I definitely would like to do a vcds check because the check engine light started flashing and the car still had full power prior to switching it off.
