    Guys

    i placed a thread the other day saying that i felt my 2.0 tfsi s line special edition 220bhp seemed to lack turbo now and again.

    so i took it to audi bristol and the master tech said there are no fault codes showing up and all is fine.

    some times you can really feel the turbo pull you back into the seat and other times it just feels like a normal 2.0 non turbo car.

    people have said about the diverter valve ripping and i told audi this but they said no fault codes present so it cant be a problem.

    now i have only had the car around 1 month and its now got 7k on the clock had 5k when i bought it.

    where do i go from here ? it really does not feel like a car with 220bhp
    i had a peugeot 407 2.2 petrol sport before and the audi does not feel loads quicker to be honest.

    is the diverter valve easy to get out to check ?
    do i take it back to audi and insist they check it ?
    or anyone in bristol that know there audis that i can take it to ?
    the car is still under warranty.

    It will most likely be the diverter valve. I'm amazed that the "no fault code = nothing wrong" disease has now spread to Master Techs! Whatever next!

    If you take the car to a non Audi dealer then you will need to pay for any diagnosis they undertake. You could try going to Bath or Glos Audi to get a different take on it.

    If you get nowhere insist you leave the car with them for extensive testing.... .... if they continue to give the same response call Audi UK customer services and complain....
    I would maybe try another car with identical engine to make sure yours is definately down on power...
