Ho so i buyed audi 2012 year , has 97,000miles done . when drive longer time on road it goes limp mode . The problem comes faster if i push harder on revs . It starts all good for fist 20 min but after that when drive a car you can start hearing small pump near engine keeps working louder and louder and harder than you know that limp.mode gonna come .

I have no idea mate. I brought car with buzzing pump and later limp mode most likely someone before me was doing something with car changing pump or something ,and connected it wrong way around . It was crazy because in 3 places nobody could see that problem . And i managed to find it only because of other post in other forum were guy brought vw golf with buzzing pump .
