Hi all,
I was driving along the other day and heard a little zishhh and instantly lost turbo function completely.
Could someone point me in the direction of a troubleshooting guide? all the connections that I need to check etc. Haven't been able to spot any split/blown off pipework.
Also would like to confirm that it's okay to still drive if need be? trying to avoid it until I fix it of course.
While I was examining the engine bay I also noticed this (photos attached). Not actually sure what the connector is responsible for but appears to have coolant or some gunk on it.
Also, if there's a comprehensive guide to all the other things that a new S3 owner should do when buying one of these cars that would be ideal. I've got the tools and immense patience, and these forums appear to be a goldmine of knowledge which I'm slowly working through (just a bit hard to navigate).
Cheers,
Nick
