Vito w639 116cdi
116cdi W639 Limp mode when cold outside

Hello

ive been having a trouble for a while with my Vito 116cdi W639.

when the temprature is hot outside, the car is working perfectly and running as it should. But when its cold outside, the car does start but goes stright into limp mode when pressing the accelerator. esp light and engine light comes on and fault codes are:
P2127 - Throttle/Pedal position sensor / switch E circuit low
P0344 - Camshaft position sensor A circuit intermittent Basnk 1 or single sensor
P0697 - Sesnor reference voltage C circuit Open

And if i let the car run on idle when in limp mode for 2-3min and stop the car and start it back up, the car works perfectly again.

ive changed:
Diesel filter
Throttle Body
Camshaft sensor
Accelerator pedal
injectors
chain tensioner
EGR changed and tested and ok


hope anyone know about this problem, because its a pain to search this fault since the car is working as it should 90% of the time.
