On route to pick up my daughter from work and my trusty V6 seemed to go give up the ghost on a slight incline when I floored it.
This has happened a couple of times before when hauling a trailer. Is it going into limp mode? Thing is, on the run back the turbo kicks in and she whistles as the revs increase. Power on tap.
Car is 2.5TDI quattro V6 avant (AKN) with 168k miles.
Please tell me it's not the turbo. Split vacuum hose possibly? May or may not related but it's struggles on warm start. Plenty juice on battery, and starts from cold. Probably on original glow plugs as I'm scared the damn things shear if I try and replace them.
