ok here is my problem ,i thought my A4 2.5tdi (180) was normal and as fast as it should be, never having driven or owned a fast car! i was a little dissapointed but thought nothing of it. Anyway it was recently in Auto Deutsch in manchester and he drove it to check on a rattle with the suspension and said its grossly underpowered and and doesnt pick up from low revs like it should. Ive read as many existing threads on this problem as i can and can see this power loss is a common problem with the 2.5s .
As i understand it can be a few different things. It seems Air Flow Meter is the first one to check,ive done this by disconnecting and seeing if the power returns ,it didnt, does this mean i can totally rule this out?? I also know it could be turbo related and am going to take my turbo to a turbo shop for inspection/cleaning .There is probably a lot of other things it could also be,Diagnosis at specialist threw up Potentiometer in V71-G113 Open/short to posotive!??! dont know what this is or wheter is related.
I dont think my car is going into limp mode like some peoples had done on this forum, just feels generally gutless and no throttle response from low revs.
A Citreon Picasso did me at the lights yesterday,help! :1zhelp:
