UPDATE:
Well I got the car back a week ago, the garage told me they cleaned the boost sensor and put some DPF cleaner through it (my car doesn't have a DPF?). First drive down a duel carriage way and it went into limp mode straight away.
That's two garages the car has been to and I have lost...
I have spoken to the garage who cleaned the turbo and mentioned the n75 and boost control sensor to them. I also asked if they cleaned the actuator whilst the turbo was off and they hadn't. Its going back to the garage this week.
Before I end up paying them to change the sensor and valve I want...
I'm hoping it it a sensor that's playing up as it would tie in with the car being fine one day and sluggish the next.
How did you come to the conclusion it was the boost sensor?
So far i have spent £400+ on trying to fix this problem. Its the standard limp mode when pushing the car hard in 3rd/4th/5th gear over 3000 revs. I went to one garage who charged me £120 for some Mr Muscle to be pumped through the turbo, then spent £290 having the turbo removed and cleaned at a...
Anyone from awsomegti in Manchester about? Looking for some advice. I have a 1.9tdi 105 06 A3 which i want to get remapped. The problem is, i also have sticky vanes (i think) as the car likes to go into limp mode down bypasses etc. Am i better off getting a recon turbo then a remap or can i get...
I have an Audi a3 1.9tdi which has a strange problem.
When i start the car in the mornings it feels very sluggish, turbo doesn't kick in until over 2000 revs and feels like the handbrake is on. If i drive for 5 minutes and then turn the car off and back on again, the car will be much faster and...
Bought from a garage and the problem started happening just after 3 months of owning the car (about a week after the warranty ran out - sods law). In 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear the car pulls just fine, every now and then I get a little stutter, like I have taken my foot off the accelerator and put it...
How much are we talking for a remap? Iv been quoted £350 for a bluefin chip, £300 for an auto logic, £250 for a 'map' (no branding) and it seems awesome gti are doing s deal of £150 for a map.
Just wondering what everyone else is paying? Awesome is obviously the most attractive as they have a...
So as i was on the way home today in torrential rain i decided to put my foot down. As I did and my windscreen misted up (smelt a faint burning smell) and the car went into limp mode...
I was worried as i have only had it 3 weeks and after reading thread after thread about white smoke, oil...
Oh snap. Someone else with dolphin grey and chrome mirrors. Still unsure wether or not to keep them. What springs have you got on yours? Or are they 19s?
So let me get this right, you can get a rs6 grill and fit it to the existing A3 grill? Mines a 56 plate sport and this is tempting. Is there much work to get the rs6 grill to fit? Does it mean cutting up the rs6 grill?
