msuth92 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hi guys new to the forums so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've just bought an a3 2.0 TDI 8p and as soon as I get to 70mph the car loses all power and doesn't seem to go any faster than 45-50 mph but it's fine once I turn the engine off and it's fine if I stay below 70mph any takers on what's wrong thanks guys Matt from Manchester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Sounds like it's going into limp mode it would be helpful to get the car scanned and see if it's throwing up any error codes? That will point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be nothing too major - could be fuel pump related? Let us know what it is once you have found out from the garage :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msuth92 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hi James So I had the call today I'm getting overboost which he said is to do with the turbo veins from reading various post on the forum it's not completely new to me so I've bought some redex to put through the engine do you this will work or is there anything else I could give a go ?? Cheers matey !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 If it's to do with the turbo veins then the other option is of course replacing or reconditioning the turbo... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
