The 420665 code paddle signal invalid will make the car go into limp mode and it can still be the clock-spring, it has many circuits through it and if one fails this is what happens. So I assume the shift pedals are not working? We need to do some tests, first I would service the throttle body, here is a guide to show you the steps and I have included how to do the job on your car in the images below:

Next, lets do a smoke test to see if there are any vacuum leaks, please go over this video.

I have seen the high pressure fuel pump start to go out and cause this issue as well, can I ask if the engine makes a slight ticking noise at idle near the HPFP? This car is diesel, correct? Please upload a short video in your response of the problem, so I can see what's going on. Ken
