Multivan 2006 does not rev over 1500rpm

[pthteam]

Hi,this is my first thread ever. I am devastated. I purchased a Multivan 2006, turbo diesel 2.5lt with only 110000 km on the clock thinking there should not be much wrong with this low milage. What a mistake. the next morning i drove 100 meters from home up a steep hill and the car went into limp mode. I turned it of and started again and drove 30km to a shop and 30km back and the car ran ok. the next day i noticed that the engine was a bit oily at the front left hand side. I decided to clean it with degreaser and hosed it down with water. ( like I have done with all my cars over the last 50 years and never had any problems with starting afterwards.) But now I have a big problem. 3 days later, everything is dry, the car starts right away but when i press the accelerator it only revs up to 1500 rpm and then shows the blinking coil warning light and of course has no power. I have the car booked in next week but i cannot even drive there. I have read nearly everything about limp mode and the cause of it but it makes no sense to me why the car does not run after wash down of part of the engine. Would anybody have an idea how i could get it running again so i could drive to the workshop?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Not sure if this wouldhelp but maybe disconnect the battery and allow the ECU to reset itself , when you say left hand side is that looking from front or from drivers perspective .

Find a vw specialist and get vcds scan done to find fault. If you gonna keep the car buy a cable and diy.

Thanks Kombi and Sunny, left hand side is from drivers perspective and i disconnected the battery at the time but it did not help.
the car is now in the specialist workshop and gets a new accelerator pedal.($250.00 from VW plus labour) hope that works. a vcds
is already on order and should arrive soon, for the next problems.
