Limp mode!
Can anyone help me with the best way to test my turbo?
Its a 1999 A3 1.8T sport with 150010 miles on the clock.
My boost is limited to 3.5psi. I have replaced my MAF sensor, and tested my N75, so i know they are not the problem.
I have used Vag com, but no faults were listed.
There is no distinctive colouring coming from the exhaust, however i have just noticed the turbo is wet with oil.
Would that suggest a seal has gone? And would that restrict/stop the boost?
I have seen on here in the past, it is possible to purchase a turbo core, to replace the damaged bearings and seals. Is this an easy fix? And where would i purchase this from?
Cheers in advanced.....
