Mine is a 53k 2007 quattro a3 tdi 2.0, it's also doing this after I've just had new engine, clutch, dpf removal and remap, car has been back in garage a week now trying to work it out. Despite having paid out over 5k already they are leaving towards a new turbo, forcing me to investigate...

I just want to add .. .

Not updated for a while things have been hectic to say the least , and unfortunately this is still going on 2 months later. The engine has been fitted now, but during this work and the 'DPF cleaning' that was meant to be done , further issues were found . On top of the above 4.2k , new clutch...

Well guys , next update , another pretty painful one sadly I spoke to audi, who did listen and performed some investigation (primarily to try and cover their ***** it seems) , Spoke to a friendly guy who was head tech there to discuss, to my surprise after research and advice done, i was told...

Yeah , its easy to say now but i would have it it done if it was on the urgent list it, i called audi yesterday afternoon to see what there view on it is, im getting a call back on monday when mangers are in. To be honest im not sure what i can expect from them , even if they admit it should...

And just to clarify i have only just realized the above checking through my paperwork for clues , i had no idea that there was any link between the issues in the service and this - i had not reason too with my faith in audi. Its also just dawned on me that even if i fix the car im still going...

There is actually another part to this i want to raise here for opinions, and on one hand i may have made some bad judgement that has helped me bring this situation along, but on the other hand based on the advice i was given i feel there should not have been potential for this kind of problem...

the problem as i understand it , The actuator rod runs the length of the manifold with a metal buttlerfly flap attached above each cylinder the controls air flow. Somehow one of these flap came off the rod fell down and was sucked into the engine, which proceeded to mash all the insides...

This is the picture i was given of the damage, the piston is knackered but im told you have to buy 4 to replace. He has got some engine prices between 1-2k +fitting , but rather have existing one fixed to lessen the tarnish on the cars history, i really have no idea which way to go. I really...

Many thanks for the good wishes guys , but today was judgement day and i didn't fare well. The problem was the actuator rod from the inlet manifold snapped off at the end and got sucked into the 4th cylinder destroyed all the insides and head etc , so im looking for a new engine now, or...

Well just updating with latest if had, pretty much no movement so far due to garages not having time . It has been looked at by a trusted audi specialist , and they believe there is no compression in one of the cylinders, they also think this maybe the cause of the far to regular dpf light that...

yeah its being arranged, unfortunately they aren't free today and i wanted to avoid audi at the first instance it sounded like the engine but the behavior suggested otherwise , strangest problem i have had.

lol, thanks for the reply. Yes i believe all was fine, it was recently serviced including oil change at Audi , no oil lights and not noticed and evidence of loss. This was of course the first thing the AA guy asked, i told him the above , he checked anyway but didn't see any issue. I guess if...

car is a sport back btw , and sorry post is so long, im like an old woman ha ha

I dont know if its the blood moon or just my bad luck but this has been a terrible week for me , and on the way to try and resolve another major issue, with my partner sat next to me who is due it 2 days, the car suddenly sounds like its going to blow up or something 2007 07 Audi A3 2.0.tdi...

Thanks for the input guys. i have now got it fitted and working. The ISO connection is pretty useless in this application i had to modify every cable on it as follows -swap over the cables for battery live and ignition live as audi one is in wrong place (luckily my sony ISO had bullet...

OK thank you that explains a bit,gives me some idea (which is the can bus btw ?) So i need to get a switched ignition live push it through the audi iso where the battery live should be then swapped over with the switched and battery lives in the ISO coming from my sony. I can follow this but...
