Hi Folks,

Bought a 2012 A5 2.0tdi 177, 54k miles in white. Wanted one of these for ages, lovely car to drive etc. I've had the timing belt done and all serviced etc.

Driving home from work this morning and could her a strange whining noise quite similar to a clutch slipping but the clutch is fine. There's a slight loss of power, so on my way to work tonight the car lost all power and eventually died with the glow plug symbol flashing. The car would do it's best to start but instantly died . There's no engine management light on. It's not getting scanned until tomorrow. I know there's some very knowledgeable people on this owners club who could possibly shed some light. My !Removed! stress levels are through the roof. Had a heart attack in May at 44 this year so stress is the last thing I need.

Thanks in advance 

Hello Ryan,

My suggestion:- 

Do not touch the car, but get it transported back to the garage(?) that renewed the cambelt. Any attempt to DIY diagnose the cause may invalidate the guarantee you have with the belt fitment.

Did you supply the parts by any chance, or were they supplied by the garage?
Was the water pump and auxiliary belt changed at the same time? 
Regards,

Gareth.

Hi Gareth thanks for replying. 

Had the car scanned, glow plug 3 and turbo boost less were the codes.

Thanks Ryan,

Any objection with taking it back to the cambelt fitters?

Hi Gareth 

I've just had it recovered back to the garage and after further inspection there's a possibility that the fuel pump under the rear seat is knackered. Just waiting for it to be tested.  You can't hear it coming on when the ignition is turned on.
