[Mark Brecknell]

Hi I need some help badly as I am new to this site. I have a Audi A4 3.0 S Line Quattro and iv recently started having a problem 1 with engine management light staying on and also glow plug light coming on under acceleration. Have put the car on a vag com and faults coming up are turbo actuator problem and 1,3,&4 glow plugs down so this weekend i bought new borsch glow plugs and also a refurbished electronic actuator also new service kit as well gave them to my mechanic to fit and sort out , to find that when I drove the car up the road for all the same faults to come up and also car goes into limp mode. Is there anybody out there that can advise me on this please .

Did your mechanic use the vag tool to reset the actuator up to your Turbo as this needs to be done so the computer knows where the closed and fully open positions are.

Sorry I don't might be worth trying to find a turbo repair centre and asking
