Limp mode should trigger a fault code.

There's no fault code cumin up mate had it on a snap on machine. The engine system message comes up and red light but no fault code

could be it needs a new fuel filter but it's a bit of a wild guess really. blocked fuel filter could cause that, but when my 1.6tdci had problems which the new fuel filter fixed, it did have fault code for low fuel pressure.
