Laguna II 1.8 16 valve Limp home mode

[funkyhse]

Hi all i'm new to this forum & i'm hoping there's help out there.
For over 12 months now I have been suffering with the dreaded Limp home mode. Diagnostics keep saying throttle problem? so it gets a new one, then it re appears, Limp mode. Surely there's someone out there with a Laguna 1.8 16 valve Dimonique petrol on a 51 plate who is suffering the same problem. Head office at Renault say there is no records of problems with this model.
All help will be most appreciated.

I don't have a Laguna, but my guess is that your problem could be caused by a sensor associated with the throttle. Does it have a sensor telling the computer what the throttle position is? It could even be a loose connection causing intermittent loss of data, resulting in an emergency operating mode of the computer.
