A3 2.0 td turbo issue.

[Darkprophecy]

Hi guys, all not a sudden turbo is not working. There's no smoke or anything but the spooling isn't happening and there is a loss of power.

There was a vacuum pipe on back of engine near the top which has come off before causing the same issue but I've checked the pipes and all seem fine.

When I remove that specific pipe it pisses for a second so there's vacuum there.

I did not on the turbo actuator or wategate? Has some oil on it but does seem to move ok when I apply force by hand.

 

Any ideas or advice welcome, I miss the whistle and wind down when I turn car off and of course the 170 plus bhp hehe

Hi miss the whistle, thats  normally a sign of a worn Turbo or a split boost hose, you should not hear anything on a variable vane Turbo its not like a fixed vane unit.
