had an error in my 2001 a4 2.5 tdi, skidded and flew head on up a kerb at around 30 mph, did feel prettey hard but the only clear damage was the plastic guard uder the engine was hanging down, and a few drivng tests and seemed to drive/brake and handle ok, few! i thought, but about 2-3 hours and a few small trips later there seems to be no power as if to be in limp mode, need this car tomorrow so any help will be much appreceaited, thanks in advance
