Hi There,

My A5 2.0 tdi 177 conked out on my way to work and we've replaced fuel lift pump as it sounded like  there was a fuel issue as it wouldrun for 10 seconds, not take any revs. The timing was re checked by the garage that done it and all was good. For some odd reason the car will run without the intercooler attached. So we took the pcv off and it runs perfectly. Has anyone had this issue.

Thanks in advance

Hundreds of people have had those symptoms, but that does not mean the causes were the same as yours. Your best bet would be to get the error codes scanned. I am surprised your garage did not do that in the first place before possibly wasting money on a fuel pump.

The car was scanned and not one code came up which I couldn't believed as I was present. 

 

Take it elsewhere then.

Confirmed today the turbo is knackered. The shaft is split on one side. Gutted, the cars only done 60k. Onwards and upwards 

Never seen a turbo failure stop a car from running before so every a days something new, I’ve had cars with seized turbos and severe timing chain stretching make them almost undrivable and still not have a single fault code which goes against all logic and also had cars with fault codes but appear to drive fine

Yeah it completely stopped, would run for 5-10 seconds and die. Anyway had the turbo done. £600 for a refurbished garrett. Cars running sweet apart from i don't know if it believe the mpg. Says it's only getting 45 mpg max on a 160 mile run. Seen a post on a forum from 2012 and there was a bit of a noise about the mpg on my car. Still looking into this one

Arrived at work this morning, revved the car for a listen and of course there's a !Removed! problem. !Removed! whistling noise when revving .

AAAAAAARRRGH

Hi I doubt its the turbo as if that was gone the howling would be there all the time sounds more like a split boost hose.

Hi Steve 

Thanks for the reply, had it smoke tested today and nothing. When you remove the air filter breather hose the noise dissappears. I had someone message me today telling me to check the gasket on the exhaust manifold incase that was causing the noise.

Hi bit confused, where is the breather hose on the air filter, not talking about the PCV hose?
