limp mode, the cause could be a few things, it will have logged a fault in the ecu so if you know anyone local with VCDS (vagcom) have it scanned

when mine did that it was split vacuum pipes

i remember when that happend to me 2 3 years ago on my first disel, i S^%£ my pants thinking i blew the engine lol. its limp mode a basic safety feature if one of the vehicles values is too high etc. it ll log a error get it read and find out what it is, usually just a loose pipe
