In Audi A6 C5.
Since cold weather of last few weeks, power problems progressively worsening.
Now, starts reliably, but within a minute stalls when applying accelerator; if left to idle, white smoke increases. Consequently have abandoned use for fear of getting stranded.
Before all this it had started to stall in traffic and once or twice seemed to lose turbo power.
When these problems got worse, engine would occasionally growl with acceleration giving zero extra power, although if given legs power was there as normal.
Had fuelled with BP Ultimate last 100 litres, although this coincided with colder weather.
Any help gratefully received.
