ESF and I’ve changed loads
I'm wondering as my car goes into esf and I see low coolant warning , could this be causing it to go into limp mode ?Metal auto sump & fluid change (3 hrs)

Most likely you have two different issues.
1. Low coolant warning, usually just the float in the expansion tank but you could of course be low on coolant for real
2. ESF is sometimes due to height sensors needing calibration, I think. should probably think again as I read ESF as super extended mode and not engine system fault
In any case, I wouldn’t start swapping parts blindly but try to diagnose it...

If the turbo fault code is coming back
Put some Wynn’s vvt cleaner in the tank.

Its more likely to be a hose but check the seals on the throttle butterfly y piece.
