    Hi, Recently whist driving my Audi A4 it started running really sluggish and the steering went allot heavier than usual.. that's when all the problems started...

    Its a : Audi A4 1.8t Quattro 01/02

    Engine Symptoms/Problems: lack of power when accelerating, Cant feel or hear the turbo kicking in, Rolling resistance, Hesitates on fast accelleration, the accelerator feels heavy with poor response when revving, the whole car moves when revving, poor Mpg, feels like im in the wrong gear when down gearing,

    Steering Symptoms/Problems: Heavy Steering (Especially at low speeds & reversing) Steering doesn't feel sharp, Loud whining on full lock, Quiet clanging sound when i pull away (only after the hand brakes been applied)

    Recent unsuccessful repairs: Two Vacuum hoses replaced, Power steering fluid flushed, Redex fuel injection cleaner added, steering fluid level checked

    Two weeks after the problems started the engine management light came on the code was : P0411 = Secondary Air Injection System Incorrect Flow Detected. two vaccuum hoses were replaced, but the problems still persist. plz help!!
