Hey all,
I was waiting to start a new topic with my new car after giving it a wash - that will now wait until tomorrow.
I picked up a 2006 2.0 TDI S-Line with DSG today. Very nice and refined after having an A3 1.8T 8L with a revo 200bhp map on it. Now the problems began as I was driving the 50 odd miles home... Firstly the engine went into limp mode, so pulled over, turn off turn on and away I go again. 20 miles or so later and the engine goes into limp mode again. Knowing the issue is likely to be the turbo I park in the services, call the garage I have just left who are happy for me to take the car home, disconnect the battery (hoping to clear any codes) and phone them tomorrow.
Now I get home, disonnect battery, leave for 20-30 minutes and then reconnect it all up and drive to my friends garage where I plug in a fault scanner. No problems so far. Then it brings up a hit, and the following codes came up ;
17506 - Glow Plug Cylinder 2
17507 - Glow Plug Cylinder 3
19559 - Motor for Intake Manifold Flap
16618 - Boost Pressure Exceeded
All I could think at this point was SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSh!te.
Cleared all codes and the only one to return without driving is the Motor for intake manifold flap. Drove the car home consisting of using all gearbox options, town and small blast on motorway with no problem. Now I'm pretty sure the turbo will need to replaced pretty soon, and will be thinking it's better to do it sooner rather than later. SO, shall I lean on the garage and say I want a new turbo or take the car back.... in the meantime speak to the garage who do the work and get them to order a hybrid and I pay the difference, OR should I get a new standard turbo fitted genuine Audi OEM??
I am planning a remap in time to come but only a "Stage 1" as I don't want to go mental.
Finally, I am assuming that the garage will want to either
A - Leave it until it goes pop hoping it is more than 3 months
B - Try to get the turbo "cleaned" and put back in
So, advice please from those who have either had similar problems or upgraded just for the fun of it, where shall I go from here?
Before anyone says "give the car back if it's broken" I have no issue getting the car fixed, as I will only go for a new turbo option and then I know it's had a brand new turbo fitted that only I have driven
