First of all can I say a big hello to everyone as I am a new member and this is my first post and as you can probably figure out from the title I have a problem. I have just bought a 2007 tdi golf with the 105 hp engine and when you turn on the ignition error shows on the dashboard display. It has an aftermarket boy racer type air filter fitted and I wondered if this would make a difference? Also if the car is stationary it will not rev over 3000 rpm is his normal or could it be related to the error problem? Any replies /advice would be gratefully received. Many thanks Mel.

our vws do not allow you to rev the engine into the higher rpms if you are not in gear. it's limited by the computer.
i'm not familiar with that engine, however, it seems that a 3k rpm rev-limit would seem perfectly normal.
now, if you can't rev the engine past 3k rpm while getting up to highway speeds, then yes, it is probably in limp mode to keep the engine from damaging itself.
furthermore, if the vehicle seems to be performing properly on the roads, it may just be an emissions component related issue.
give us a little more info.
welcome to the VWOC and good luck...
