Was it a main dealer who told you needs a set of turbos and ecu?
Sounds strange..how long have you had the fault for?
THere are fuel issues at the moment SE and killing Lambda probes..so back track when you last filled her up and what fuel and station you used
It could also be something as simple as the MAF sensors.
Unplug them both and see what happens..you can get to the plugs down the back..or get an Audi bod to do it.
How old is your car..you got warranty??

no warrenty mate had the car 3wks been using bp and esso fuel the car seemed fine for the first week then it done this thing once or twice now its all the time it was a main audi dealership.i no its not the turbo's but u no what main dealers are like if it is over boosting its gonna b some sort of leak or actuater problem i ashume where do i find these plugs then mate how much is a maf is there 2?
thanks for your reply also its a 2003.do u no if its possible to change the lambda's with the engine in?
well at first i thought it might b something to do with the fueling it was booked into amd for the ecu upgrade and exhaust etc so went ahead with that hoping it might fix it or they would spot it but it got worse as times gone by
sometimes it goes like a 500hp car then the next minute it drives like a 50hp car it sometimes accelarates strong then goes completly flat

thanks mate a pic would be a great help how much are the maf's to buy? im trying to sort the codes out today
the mafs have been changed and still does it im still thinking its the lambda's the car isnt here so i cant look under the bonnet but can they b changed in situe or is it a massive job
can anyone give me some contact numbers of a good tuner who i can take the car to i need to get it fixed i havent drove the car for a month

Sounds exactly like what mine did, they should be able to diagnose it if they have any idea what they are doing, sounds like 2 turbo's to me, its probably your wastegate diaphragm thats gone, to replace that they replace the whole turbo, and when they replace one turbo you have to replace both or they will be out of balance.
£4000-5000 it cost the warranty to do mine.
Take it to a proper Audi garage that knows what they are doing though and get it diagnosed PROPERLY first.
