#1
![Default](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi, new to this forum so apologies if this has been done before.
I own an Audi A3 TDI. Every time I step on the accelerator and rev to above 3k revs, the turbo cuts out and I lose all boost.
Been to Audi shedloads of times, changed the ECU, Airflow meter, E75 valve, etc, no joy, doing my head in.
Anyone seen this problem and knows what's happening & what the solution is?
Also if any one wants to sell their TT wheels i may be interested, will they be ok on my A3 TDI
Cheers Chaps.

look for change in exhaust fume colour!
also look for little black spots of unburnt fuel on your rear bumper/tailgate!
If so... sounds like you have an air leak on the compressor side of your turbo.
If your idle is affected the leak is on the induction side, if not, its on the charge side.
And/or check or replace your all the turbo breather pipes.

Whats the difference between a BiTurbo (i.e. Audi 2.7l) and a Twin Turbo (i.e. Porsche 996TT)... (m)
