Hi All,
I'm here to draw on your collective wisdom!
I have a 96 A4 Avant TDI 110 AFN with 150k miles on the clock.
About two weeks ago, I noticed that there has been a big decrease in the power. She used pull very well but now she's very weak.
The engine doesn't rev as freely anymore and she belches out plumes of black smoke if you floor it.
It feels as if there is something slipping in the engine (not the clutch) when you accelerate hard.
And sometimes when your just crusing along at 50 or 60 the engine will lose revs temporarily (nothing too major - but enough to notice that she is losing the revs).
First bit of trouble she's given now in a year and i'd like to get it sorted. Its nearly embarassing now with the smoke!
I have vag com ordered and its due here this week.
is there any simple test i can do to see if its something like the MAF?
thanks
C.
