Kellyrossiter Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Hi hope someone can help I have an Audi A3 1.6 diesel just over a year ago it caught alight it was left for a year, I finally got someone to fix it althoughy wen I picked it up it had a mass sensor code and egr problem he unplugged my mass sensor and that how I drove it for about 3 months till it went into limp mode, I went to buy a new mass sensor and Audi said mine was a 3 pin but there was a 4 pin wired into my car which the bloke who got it back up and running must have done fast forward couple of weeks of it being in limp mode I had it remapped instead of having the egr done so dpf deleted and cut out egr blanked off still in limp mode, it’s now thrown up a couple of different codes turbo supercharger underboost & air intake leak auto electrician wired in new 3 pin sensor ect all codes now gone but car still has no boost, he’s checked solenoid, map sensor and changed my fuel filter and he’s run out of ideas now he’s saying change actuator but wud this not throw up a code, are they not electronic, audi are saying £800 for a new turbo which I can’t afford any ideas wat it cud be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Actuator should throw up a code in theory. I'm guessing all boost hoses have been checked. The last thing is then the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yh I’ve been told it wud throw up a code as electronic I’m not sure of boost pipes were checked so is it not worth just changing actuator then new turbo is £800 or I can get one off a breaking car for £200 but is it going to solve my problems 😫😫😫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
