Can anybody help with my A2 (Tdi 90) which has developed a serious loss of power problem? I bought it just under a year ago from Audi Derby. I have been driving it daily and I have recently noticed a serious loss of power in 3rd/4th gears around 1500 to 2500 revs. This is particularly noticeable going up hills or trying to accelerate in these gears. I keep having to change down to get any power and there is a deep shudder before the turbo kicks in (it does kick in, but very "late"). The problem is not intermittent - it feels like I am driving with the handbrake on.
Audi recovery have been out today and say there are no faults showing on diagnostic. The RAC guy reported "no fault codes found - turbo seems noisy when coming in to play and seems too high in rev range".
My Audi warranty only lasts for another 2 weeks (I thought I was out of warranty but checked today) and I am keen not to be fobbed off by Audi - the car is going to Audi Manchester on Monday morning to be checked out.
So far it appears from other posts that this problem could be:-
Split intercooler core
Blown hoses
Sticking/faulty turbo
Injector wiring loom
Fuel filter blocked
Does anybody have any other suggestions please - I have read that the Tdi 90 does have frequent turbo problems? Thanks for your help.........
PS It's got 46,000 miles on the clock
