My 2.0 tfsi loses power when going over 3k rpm, it is like i'm lifting of the throttle. When scanning for codes i get P12A2 and P0304. I did have a check engine light for a couple of days then it vanished but the problem was still there. Does anyone have a clue what the issue can be?

It sounds like there's a leak in the system. The noise could be because the powerfluid pump has ran dry. Definitely worth looking for any areas where it's leaked from. 

The steering rack was leaking like crazy and made a horrible sound. Buying a used one tomorrow and we will see if that fixes the problem. 

Just looking at the oilstains on the ground it looks like its coming from the steering rack. I will take a closer look tomorrow evening.

When I was reversing out of my driveway i noticed that my clutch made a  loud ¨humming¨ sound. I continued drind also nving aoticed that my steering was rattling/scraping when i was turing and got heavier the more i drove. When I got home again i open the powersteering fluid reservoir and the fluid was empty. How should I troubleshoot this issue?
