is your car modded?
if its in limp mode, you shouldn't really be driving it anyways. is the cel flashing? anything else wrong? what engine?
if you're under warranty, and not modded... depending on what the prob is, it shouldn't take long (ie. if its just a bad coilpack or something).

another way to clear codes...
disconnect your battery for 20 - 30 minutes. But have your radio code ready and have the procedure ready to get the windows to auto up/down again.

Simple
Yank the catalytic converter and replace the fuel injection with a nice Holley 4-barrel.
Other than that, buy a VAG-COM, install it on your laptop computer, and see if you have any error codes that need clearing.

do you have a chip?
if so, you can turn the car off, wait about 30 seconds and try rebooting the software - my APR software sometimes goes into limp mode when i switch programs if the new program doesn't load all the way
otherwise, if is just stock, i'd say try turning the car off, letting it sit, and then turn it back on. if that doesn't work, find someone near you with a VAGCOM (or go to dealer - they should cover it under waranty if you're stock)

Re: is your car modded?
no mods....the carpet got all wet after the big storm here in southern cali...I think the tranny ecu got wet...had a leak somewhere (maybe sunroof was left a little open.)
