    Still lacking power and sounds like an old tractor! 1.9tdi aaarg!! Help!

    Thanks to all who've replied. I nearly lost the plot entirely with her.... could not find anything obvious. Took it to another independent Audi garage in the end. The upshot of the saga is that the distributer injection pump is beginning to fail :sadlike:. The guy at the garage was brilliant -...

    Still lacking power and sounds like an old tractor! 1.9tdi aaarg!! Help!

    This car is the biggest pain in the backside! It's a 2000 on an X plate 90bhp 60kw AHH model. I've had it to two garages - one of them an independent Audi specialist.

    A4 1.9 TDi - oil sensor disconnected??

    Hi Aragorn, thanks for your reply. It's an A4 1.9 TDi - 2000 on an X plate. It's the red & three beep number. My garage seem to think i'm imagining that the oil light is doing this as it's been disconnected. This in itself is worrying? How can it be beeping etc when it's disconnected? I'm...

    A4 1.9 TDi - oil sensor disconnected??

    Hi, I'm quite new around here and new to audis! I bought a high mileage A4 Tdi recently and was rather chuffed with my purchase until i drove it home! She has very little torque and was like a slug on the motorway. I noticed the oil light flashed and immediately put her into my local garage to...
