Hi, can someone please help me!
Just bought my first A3 1.9 tdi, its a 51 plate with 72000 on the clock.
Bought it on Friday and didn't notice on my test drive, but when I hit around 60mph the car goes into limp mode until i reset the ignition.
I have replaced the MAF with genuine part and the valve at the top of the engine bay where the tubes go into, and the performance has increased, but it not goes into limp mode around 80mph.
The garage I took it to said i'll need a new turbo but i'm not convinced as it is intermittent and if the turbo itself was knackered then I wouldn't get any performance up to 80mph!
Please help, p.s. i'm new to this so sorry if the post is in wrong place etc!!
