I'm having a problem because my A4 feels a bit sluggish.

It might not be a rocket with 1.5 tons and 130 horsepower/285 Nm, but surely a little more power could be achieved.

A few days ago, I ran a 3-8-11 diagnostic and noticed that the turbocharger pressure was building up very slowly, and it was also operating in the soot reduction mode at the beginning. This is likely due to a sticking VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry).

That would explain the sluggish behavior below 2000 RPM, but I also feel like something is missing above that speed.

Perhaps I'm just spoiled by my former A4 AHU, which was modified by the homeowner to produce 115 horsepower and 260 Nm of torque icon_wink.gif.


Edit:

The right ones will arrive tomorrow.

The data/logs are also from the AHU. icon_lol.gif Are you sure you have a new car, and that the old engine wasn't put into the new body? icon_cool.gif
