Ok thanks, luckily I have enough common sense to know that if the engine was knackered blue smoke would be seen on start up...Im sure its worth getting them replaced as a starting point... Injectors as they say it could be would surely mean the engine would run rough and be hard to start?

Ive been all through the limp mode fixes,new manifold recon turbo etc.. When the new turbo was fitted it was still limping under load.. There is a multiplug on the turbo actuator.. Clean that with electrical contact cleaner.. My car was instantly better in every gear, no hesitation and no limpmode.

Well,what happened is..because I had the cam belt and water pump replaced at Audi about 6 months ago.. They gave me free MOts for the rest of the life of the car..As I say last year at Audi it passed. This year they said it failed on the emissions as I said,a fuel leak and a few other things...

Yeah, I nearly gave up and traded it,but Ive had new brakes and a cambelt, so thought Id have one last go. Worth getting your turbo actuator wiring checked. I thought my car was pulling ok at lower speeds but now its fixed it really pulls much stronger in the lower gears...I could tell it was...
