My son has a 2011 GTI (first car) with manual transmission and is trying to learn to drive a stick for the first time. He missed a shift and went to 2nd instead of 4th and redlined the motor and then immediately got an EPC light and the car went into limp mode (no more than 1800 rpm in limp mode). I pulled the codes and got: P1579, P0122, P0222 Any ideas on what to do to repair / reset? I cleared the codes but they immediately come back . . . even without trying to start the car.
Thanks in advance,
Trevor
