Hi guys -
Wondered if anyone can advise me as to why my new A3 Tdi (51 plate) seems to have 'lost' the turbo on a couple of occasions now. It will be going along quite happily until a bit of acceleration is required when suddenly the turbo seems to go to sleep, and it doesn't have the pull anymore. The only remedy is to switch the engine off and on again which seems to do the trick. I've just searched some previous threads and the MAF sensor has been mentioned?? Does the A3 have a MAF sensor??!! And what is a MAF sensor? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
