X57E

im going to remove the gearbox and change the seal flange, not what i was expecting to be doing when changing a crank sensor but oh well

So i was changing my crank position sensor on my 2.0TDI in hope it would fix my rough warm start issue that has been progressively getting worse for over a year, the bolt retaining the sensor was very seized and starting to round, i used a hex extraction kit and it removed the bolt with the sensor and snapped part of the crankcase sealing flange with it

i have diagnosed the car today and only one fault and its "P0234 Turbocharger (TC), engine boost condition - limit exceeded TC Engine Overboost Condition" im going to change the boost pressure sensor and take out the turbo and give it a good clean too make sure its all clear and check that ll the parts look good, will keep updated

i will check them in the morning, thank you for your help

Thank you for the response, it does feel like a turbo issue im going to get a diagnostic test tomorrow then, maybe run some turbo cleaner through it.

i have a 2005 audi a3 2.0TDI, usually it drives great and gains speed quickly when i floor it but if im on a long drive and i come off the motorway and hit a red light, when i go back onto the motorway and put my foot down it struggles to get past 40, taking my foot off the gas and then slowly accelerating i can get up to 60 but verry slowly, the rpms seem to stay very low. turning the car off, waiting a couple minuets and then going again will fix the issue temporarily untill i go fast again and slow down then go fast again, but sometimes it does not go back into what i believe is "limp mode" at all, its very random sometimes, i assumed i needed my oil change as it was overdue from the last owner, i changed the oil filter and oil and it was fine for a week but it started again today, it ran perfectly yesterday on the motorway for 2 hours, any advice would be greatly appreciated, the car has no warning lights at all when this happens.

recently bought my car and when taking out the radio to swap for a new one i noticed this behind the radio, just wondering if anyone knew what its used for
