2009 Audi A3 2.0TDi CR170 Fault
Discussion
Hi all,
Wonder if anyone can shed some light on this fault.
Driving to work this morning, stopped for a coffee, when restarted the engine there was a new sound, a rattling/vibration coming from the engine bay, gets considerably worse when trying to steer left.
The engine will not rev above 2500rpm and when I lift off, there is a whooshing sound on the over run. No additional smoke, mpg readout still seems normal around 45-50mpg, no overheating..
I have no lights or warning messages on the dash.
I have a 50 mile drive home this evening but I dropped into a local VW/Audi indy from down the road from the office, who may or may not look at it.
Car been driving fine up till this happened this morning, currently on 97k.
Hope someone can help and I'll be able to discuss with garage if they get a chance to look at it later. I hate using garages that I've no recommendation or experience but I don't have any other option to get me home tonight.
Thanks
Lee

Sounds like it might have gone into limp home mode but very strange there aren't any warning lights.
You really ought to get it scanned by VCDS to see what error codes are logged on the system if possible.
Not sure I'd take the risk driving it home 50 miles in that state, is breakdown recovery an option?

Yes, its very strange. Normally when something breaks like this it's obvious!You really ought to get it scanned by VCDS to see what error codes are logged on the system if possible.

Its in pieces at local workshop now to investigate, if very expensive in terms of labour or I'm not convinced of their diagnosis then will get RAC to take me and the car home and scan the codes using my own VCDS, I don't need the car, just happened to use it today because I felt like a change..
