Audi A3 2.0 TDI BKD.
Turbo is 20 months old (recon) and has done 30k (many fast miles as opposed to town travel), getting limp mode in the usual way - hills 4th/5th 2200rpm. Am i right in thinking its unlikely to be clogged up already? intercooler seals changed, vac lines changed, could it be that vac box on the bulkhead rather than the turbo??? BTW the turbo has been Mr Muscled three times and worked only for a short while as if it had freed up something then back to normal - limp limp hill limp, now limping on straights too with too much power!!!
Any advice greatly appreciated before I replace the turbo!!
