hi all new boy here been a merc man for last 25 yrs just bought a 2001 a6 2.5 tdi drives great done 700 miles since purchess was just on the red went round a bend and it held back so pulled in next petrol station and half filled it but now is holding back all the time wont rev over 3k mostly 2k no smoke dash lights air in clear fuel lines was playing with the milage thingy on the wiper arm just befor all this started but feels to me like fuel starvation any ideas cheers dave

Sounds like the car i8s in limp mode.
Look in the vagcom section for a member in your area for a scan

When was the fuel filter changed? might be worth a try seeing as its you maybe don't know its history.

[kudos100]

was changed week or so just befor i bought it def started playing up as i took a few bends/ roundabouts at speed when low on fuel then seemed ok for a mile or so as if ide sucked up some air but after turning off to refuel on restart its seems to be in limp mode runs sweet but just wont rev much over 2.5 k no codes no smoke no lights on dash tryed ing on flat on accelrator 15 secs then turnd off allso removed bat for a few hrs stilll same 1/4 of a tank of fuel wondering if needs more new to audi and dont want to just start guessing pulling things about as we all know where that leads cheers dave ps was playing about with the trip thing on the wiper stalk just befor prob allso

If its going into limp mode something must be giving a fault code,you will need a scan with vcds.

Hang on in there kudos the 2.5 tdi is a good motor,what did your mate use to scan it! you can try in the vcds user locations to get someone in your area,if there on genuinely no codes stored I would give the fuel system a good looking at is it the correct filter,can you rev it above 2.5k stationary?

[kudos100]

i scanned with cheepy rac thing borrowed from my neighbor but deff came up no code no wont rev even when not under load but is starting and running well and smoth the guy i got it of is audi fan and filter deff looks correcte if im honest it dosent fell like a fuel prob it feels like the computers saying no funny thing is i came away from mercs cos thay have got to electronic my guess would be ive sucked up some air then its had a spive and the ecu has gone on one but ide have thought it would reset now there fuel in it but no so im hoping its nothing to expensive or its a e320 cdi for me as there deff lot faster and miles better on fuel cheers
