Another thing I just tried, disconnected the MAP sensor and the car was totally sluggish with the glow plug light flashing as to be expected, however it revved freely , well over 2,200 rpm. Would this indicate that it could potentially be a MAP sensor issue?

Little update, so the EML came on at the weekend, I've had it scanned again by my friend and it came up with two codes P010200 Mass Volume Air Circuit Manifold Position Sensor , and P201500 Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor. My friend who is a mechanic said he's sure it's not the gearbox...

thanks for the post , I’ll have to look into this next , if it is a faulty turbo then that wouldn’t be too bad at all. Now to find out how to remove the air intake ;-)

3 previous owners. Car was bought with this issue , the gent I purchased it from was totally honest about it , and he’d done a load of bits and princes to it to try and resolve the issues as mentioned in the initial post. the turbo has not not been replaced (at least not by the previous owner...

When it occurs its actually losing power, I'm putting my foot further down on the accelerator but the speed is decreasing and the revs are just holding around 2.4k. I have tried accelerating through it and it just won't have it. The power just decreases and the car slows down. Have to take my...

thanks , I'll have a good look over it and report any findings. If I can't find anything obvious, I think the next option is going to be to find a VAG specialist to give it the once over.

Engine does not appear to be moving excessively. Couple more vids I took at the same time https://share.icloud.com/photos/078hL5G_n610Q8uVybYx9tOTQ https://share.icloud.com/photos/008COicdRVfI0ed-bGh8Iupfg https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eB12GLNZz-rg__mC09LWndw

Thanks for the advice. I will do a vid of it tomorrow, and upload. Appreciate the suggestion. I did not mention but in park it revs fine, no hesitating or juddering, its only when being driven

Yeah , that's what I've been starting to think too.... I've had it up to about 75-80 and its absolutely fine as long as you don't go over 2,200 rpm ,

Any ideas guys? Anyone experienced similar issues? :blink:

Hi Guys , I've been searching on here and also on the net, but can't seem to find any help for my issue. So I bought a 2010 A4 B8 2.0 TDI CVT (CAG engine code) last week with 130k miles. Purchased it with a few issues including possible gearbox troubles. I've driven it about 500 miles so far...
