Hi everyone.
I've been a forum reader for a while now, trying to get ideas to fix a problem I'm having with mine. I decided to expose my problem to see if I can get any other ideas, since I'm all out...
By the way, I'm not a mechanic, so go easy on me.
The problem - started last year in August, in higher RPM it would cut off, almost like if the turbo stopped working, then seconds in, it would kick back in. This problem developed consistently, to a point where it had no power to overtake, and struggle uphill. Now, it doesn't develop well, and its almost capped at 3k rpm. Needs extra acceleration to get going on 1st gear.
It has no error codes!!! not one...ever!
What has been done:
Two different shops, many combined months of shop "stay-over"
- Air Mass sensor replaced (AUDI one, even thought, I tried two others before - one bosh, one from china lol)
- Turbo pressure checked (2BAR - deduct the atmosphere 1Bar.. )
- Vacuum system has no leaks
- EGR valve canceled
- Injectors tested, they told me it passed the test, but later on the chief mechanic told me it was the injectors...??
- No smoke coming out through the exhaust
- I turn the car on, like a clock, everything sounds great.
In sum, with everything that was done, the car is now worse...
So, I'm at the brink of calling in a priest.
Hopefully, someone here can push me in the right direction. I love this car and want to keep it.
PS: I live on an island, there is no AUDI shop here...
Also, they did a bypass here [see img] in the vacuum circuit (??) now the T is gone. Does anyone know what this is for?
Thanks in advance!
