......I think.

Just bought Audi 80 Tdi as I've had Golfs for the last few years (Plain Diesel, then a Turbo Diesel) but sold up for 80 estate for more room, and the extra poke of a Tdi vs my old Turbo.

Loving the car, but seems a bit more temperamental than my old Turbo Golf.

Two probs:

The turbo sometimes fails to kick in. Seriously slow acceleration. Happened about 3 weeks after I bought the car. Stopped to see if any pipes had split, come loose, etc, everything looks fine. Started the car again, it works again, turbo fun.

This happens about once a week, or even less often, sometimes when you start the car, sometimes in the middle of a drive. Every time, if you stop the car an start again, the turbo is back.

That's prob one......any ideas?

Prob two, seriously weird, and I think this is why there is a ghost living in the car somewhere.

Opened the car after work, only my drivers door unlocked, the other door locks stayed down. I locked and tried again, same thing. Hmm, never mind. Turned the key to start and the car wouldn't fire (i.e. wouldn't try to start, just no ignition at all) plus ALL the dash lights came on, then turned off, then my emergency flashers on. Turned the ignition of, and the emergency flashers are still going. V strange. Locked the car again and tried for the third time. Still no dice.

Finally, unlocked the car from the passenger side, everything unlocked, flashers stopped and the car started fine.

has anyone EVER had this before? Totally weird. Hasn't happened since (touch wood)
