Audi a4 1997 tdi total power loss

Nov 21, 2006 7 Replies

Whilst accelerating in 5th gear from 50 to 70mph I hit a total flat spot and putting my foot down actually slowed the car down, now it drives like a tractor. The turbo is still whistling smoothly so I dont think its a mechanicaly blown turbo, although thats what it feels like.



Any ideas MAF?



Blow high pressure diesel through them :-) Vag-Com is your friend.

ok....How?? (this ought to be good)

Tim..

Disconnect the MAF. If performance is now improved at least somewhat, change it.

Check for a split boost pipe non the less though.

Tim..

Is that the short thin rubber black pipe thats covered in a nylon braid?

It ran perfectly well when cold this morning, a mile down the road however and it was back to a tractor.
