Guys, need some help/pointers.
Audi A3 2007 2.0tdi Quattro (170 bmn)
I've got an intermittent air intake leak that's breaking my heart.
In recent weeks I've replaced the following, some by advise from garage.
Intake manifold (fitted bkd one from darkside)
Both lower boost hoses (1 was defo burst)
MAP sensor
Used forte system cleaner
And wynns turbo cleaner
Yet I still have this problem, air intake leak.
When this happens the coil light flashes and sometimes the EML comes on.
This morning car was fine , then after football got most of the way home then it jumped back into limp mode.
Noticed when it's going to do this it gets hesitation around 2000rpm sometimes pushes through it, sometimes not.
Also noticed that in the morning sometimes I get to work ok, then it pops up before I leave the car park going home.
Used easy start around all air lines etc, no up take in the revs to give an indication.
And only seems to happen when engine under load, ie I can sit at the house and rev to 3k rpm and it doesn't register the leak.
When running ok, turbo seems to spool ok and it pulls like a train.
Initially this only came about around 5/6 weeks ago, I noticed when swinging a left turn the coil light flashed, then when straightened up all was ok.
Is there something I'm missing ?
Or anyone seen/heard this before ?
Apologises, I know this is a long post. And thanks for taking the time to read if you get to here.
