hi everyone hope someone can help me,
Ive been having problems with my a3 for about a month now, its loosing power when i put my foot down at fast speed and seems like its not able to handle the power for example yesturday on the motorway as i came out of road works from a 50mph i put my foot down to 80mph and then lost power, but if i take it slower going up to 80-90mph than usually there is no problem... my engine light was on about a week ago and took it to the place i bought it from and they said theres something wrong with the turbo its opening or something i didnt really know what he was talking about as im not an expert on these things and also he said it might have been chipped which made me think why they wouldnt tell me this before and sell me a car like this, so anyway they turned the engine light off and he said when it comes back on again bring it back and they are going to send it somewhere else to get it fixed, but then by that time my 3 month warranty will be over so i dont know whether i should trust his word as he might just say they cant do anything because warranty has ran out...
also after that drive lastnight when i parked up the turbo was making a constant noise even without me driving, so would this mean it needs changing? and i get a slight shaking while parked...
sorry its really long, any help really appreciated. thanks
