Hi everyone,  me again, not having a lot of luck with my recent purchase of my 2007 A6 Quattro V6 TDI, 

driving home yesterday the diesel coil light started flashing after doing a overtake, pulled over and stopped the car went to start it again and no go, after a couple of tries I threw the towel in and rang AA,

they code read it    codes 2008 2011,  he said it’s something to do with inlet actuators!, he pulled a link  arm on 1 up and eventually it started , drove ok home, it didn’t start as promptly as it used to but went out for a short gentle drive this morning and again coil light flashing, got home and now not starting again,,,,,,,please help before I pull my hair out ( if I had any that is lol)

they say things come in 3 so I’m errrr pooing myself for the 3rd challenge 

Thanks guys in advance 

Jon

Actuators are a known fault on this engine I'd definitely be getting those changed.
