Hi there.
Just looking for some guidance. Still new to Audi's and even more new to Turbos!
Got a problem with my car that has developed. I manage to start the car fine, it runs fine and when not in gear or anything if I rev it I get the dial to the red no problem.
However when driving along, as soon as I put my foot down from 2nd gear upwards the car stops accelerating and violently judders, as if I could smash my head on the windscreen sometimes, because it wont get passed 3000 revs under normal acceleration. If I accelerate heavy it is about 2500 revs. The turbo goes crazy and you can hear this in the video below. The boost gauge shows the needle go off the scale and when I am accelerating and this is happening the needle is like trying to force itself to go more by constantly vibrating at the highest it can.
I have done a video to show you and let you hear what is happening from inside the car. I'm sorry it is not the best, in fact, pretty rubbish quality but was filmed holding a phone at 1am in the morning lol.
Appreciate any help etc and sorry if I have missed a thread with someone with the same problem!
