[QUOTE="gman4175, post: 427844, member: 18879"] I had the same on my golf 2.0TDI(same engine as audi A3 I think). Cleaned the EGR & MAFF sensor & it went away. Might happen once in a blue moon now. A VW mechanic told me It's to do with excess carbon building up and causing components to overheat. So the engine goes into limp home mode to protect itself. Also, If you've got a variable vain turbo the same as on the golf then that could be clogged or have a chipped vain. Is there any excessive turbo whistle? If it's under warranty still, I'd go back and get it checked. If your turbo goes & shrapnel flies back in the engine, then it's gonna cost as there'll be plenty of damage. [/QUOTE]
