Audi A3 TDI

[andyrowsell]

Hi i don't know if anyone can help me.

Just drove my Audi A3 today and heard a pop sound, then it felt like i had no power.

If anyone could point me in the right direction with what the fault may be I would appreciate it.

Many Thanks

Andy

i would give all your hoses (esp. turbo hoses) a check

What he said. Happened to me recently, not the same car though. Will most probably be one of the hoses leading to/from the turbo.

Could be an intercooler pipe, jack it up and take the tray off the bottom of the engine.

Check the pipework on top of the intercooler, and the bottom. You shouldn't need to take the tray off for either.

Try Radio 4 rather than Radio 1, and buy a faster car.

Check the air pipes that run from the turbo to/from the intercooler. Common place for them to pop off is under the right hand wheel liner at the bottom of the intercooler.
