    I recently found a bargain Audi they are trying to get rid of, but on inspection there is no MOT and i found out the reasons why was due to it failing an emissions test due to unburnt fuel in the exhaust

    The car is a 2.0 TDI Audi A4 56 plate and done 85k miles with full service history and cambelt changed at 65k.

    So brief history i found out about the car: it had a water leak so had the radiator, water pump, air con and cylinder head replaced and the water has now stopped leaking

    But the issues remaining are there is a loss of power just like the car is giving up around 3.5-4k revs (i thought this could be the turbo recirc valve or clutch plate slipping) and the other main issue is the fuel being unburnt in the exhaust pipes and being an MOT failure

    Obviously i don't wont to buy a money pit so was after thoughts please?

    Car runs very smoothly other than this though and doesn't feel like there is any problems if you drive it sensibly etc wouldn't tell it had an issue

    Help much appreciated :-)


    I have also just seen a youtube video about the vaccum hosing being split causing overfueling - the guy who owned it did mentioned that the oil dipstick housing was loose and he ziptied it so it didn't move, could there be a split in the vaccum hose around this causing the overfueling?
