You are going to be crucified for your lack of punctuation, just so you know.

There are a whole load of reasons why a 14 year old high mileage A4 would have turbo issues, some of them failures, some of them deliberate. How long have you had it? Is it modified? Have you considered taking it to a mechanic?

This is PH, you can't have too much boost biggrin

On a more serious note, is it using oil at all ?

Flux capacitor mate, common on the green ones.

My car ticks sometimes, why do you think that is?

Edited to add: the wheels are coloured antracite.

You car is a supply teacher, it's absolutely normal.

My TDI with red sherbert piping on the lumbar support and indicator stalk emits a horrific, terse grumble and retch between 800 and 5700 rpm, dear god why?

ETA: I once drove did a three point turn in a Morrison's HGV loading bay?

You might get a more constructive answer in the Audi sub-forum, but you'll need to give more information.
