I'm in a bind. I'm far from home and also far from any town. My 02 1.8T 360K went into limp mode this afternoon. I shut it off and it made my gear indicator normal again. The temperature dropped substantially and limp mode reappeared. Turning the car off and on didn't help. The one bright...

I know limp mode can be caused by a number of things, but this was pretty sudden. I was backing out of my grandmother's driveway and nothing seemed unusual. About a second or two I put the car into drive, the car shook and I heard a loud clunk (confirmed by my father). All of the gear indicators...
