Hi. Did you ever get to the bottom of this problem? Ive got exactly the same issues. Also replaced the Actuator and MAP/Boost sensor but car is still the same. Had a guy who knows turbos check mine out and he reckons all is fine. I know its an old thread but just wondered what outcome you had.

Checked that funny shaped air filter bit and cleaned it all out. Also done full service when I bought it. Guess its gonna be a case of digging a little further. A cheap code reader is a good shout as my mate with VCDS is always busy! lol. I plugged the MAF back in yesterday and thought I...

I just changed it with a brand new one. Now a cheapie either. Denso, which is apparently what is provided from factory. Still the problem persists. What does the MAF control/affect? Anyway I can find out? Thanks.

Hi, I have other problems but this might help answer some of the questions. On your unmapped 3.0tdi A4 at what RPM does the turbo kick in? (mines a manual) I have been advised about 2000rpm just wondered if thats the same for others? Does it drive very sluggish before turbo comes on? Many...

Cheers. Going to catch up with my mate who's got VCDS see if we can find any other fault codes. Only other thing thats of notice: MAF connected, slugish and turbo at 2.1krpm and a big old puff of black smoke. MAF disconnected turbo seems to come in around 1500rpm with an extra pick up about...

Thanks for the reply. Lol. Well when I went and test drove it i could tell there was a lag problem. Used it to knock the price down £1500! Happy days. Well except for the problem. lol Turbo coming in at 2-2.1krpm sounds rather late. I suppose it depends on how it drives below that. Mine...

Hi all, I have a 3.0tdi B7 s line quat the 204bhp. I bought it knowing it had some sort of turbo lag issue. So I got a deal :drool: Turbo wasnt kicking in until about 2100rpm. Under that car was very sluggish and would sometime thow itself into limp mode. Mate of mine stuck the VCDS on it and...

Thats my pride n joy. Tidying it up a bit more this year. Adding a webasto full length roof and either rebuilding engine and keeping as is or maybe turbo the abf. Depends on funds.

More like "what havent i done" lol. Mk3 ABF, cvk carbs, exhaust, suspension, paint, wheels, M3 Vadar leather......etc etc

Cheers my dears. Actually been hovering for about a week picking up various bits of advice. Well worth while as it helped me chip the seller down by £800 :yum: so I owe a fair few peeps on here a cyber beer. lol. Now I am an owner though thought it was time to register. Glad I never...

Hi all, Just bought a 3.0tdi Quattro A4 on an 05 plate. The 204ps model. S line spec in Grey. Basic spec (no leather, nav etc) and a manual! Totally new to the Audi scene but I am an old dog in the VW scene, hence the user name :yum: Alongside my A4 is my Mk1 Golf (heavily modified) and my...
