Running problems - limp mode ?



Hi,

A friend of mine is having issues with his Clio 172 53 plate. Wonder if anyone can help please ?

Car: Fully warmed up, full tank of fuel, and all fluid levels perfect.


Symptoms: Whenever I try to rev the car past around 5,500rpm’ish all power drops. The revs get stuck at about 2500rpm and fluctuate around that.
When this happens its totally unresponsive. There's nothing I can do other than turn it off.

After a restart its back to normal. But if I rev it to about 5,500rpm again exactly he same thing happens.

The warning lights seem to be on for:
1) Traction Control
2) Electrical Fault? (the middle light, second up from the bottom looks like a heartrate monitor).
3) Service Light

Does anyone have any ideas of what this fault could be or if it’s a common issue?

Thanks,
AJ9939.
