ECU error, it's now running in safe mode.
Probably you have lack of power now?

Yes mate, just happened again and went in to limp mode, how can this be resolved?

I'd suggest having someone read it out with a computer, either someone with VCDS or a garage. Limp mode can have a couple of causes, so I don't know without data

this happened to mine when i first got it over a year ago and it ended up being the egr valve ,
i got a new one fitted and went again recently so got it mapped out no problem since ,
cheaper to map it out than get a new egr

flashing glow plug light can be a general fault,get it read with a simple diagnostic tool ,most common faults are faulty injector,egr valve or brake light switch(check your brake light function yourself by pressing brake pedal n see if lights come on).most common fault however is faulty fuel injector, if its this fault the injectors are expensive €300 -€400 each but don't despair because there not too difficult to fit, its a job you could do yourself, just done some yesterday so if its injector fault let me know n ill run you through the process.
