Hi, I hope everyone is well, I have been having a very strange issue with my car and I’m hoping someone may be able to help by sharing past experiences etc.
My car (2009 A4 2.0tdi CAGA) drives perfect up to 3K revs, turbo kicks in as normal and picks up speed as it should in all gears BUT as soon as I come close to 3K revs engine stops responding, sounds as though it has hit some sort of restriction and it can’t get past it, after this if I accelerate the car doesn’t respond and starts slowing down the only way I can get the car to respond is by dipping my clutch and releasing it, after this the car is normal again (as long as stay below 3K revs). No warning lights are triggered and no code is detected with snap on computers.
I had the car scanned by a mechanic who has vag.com and he told me a crankshaft sensor error was coming up but he said he doesn’t think that’s the issue and that he thinks it may be a faulty injector, but I’ve had faulty injectors in the past and it never displayed these symptoms so I’m stuck as to what it may be.
