Hey guys, a couple of weeks ago I posted something about replacing my turbo on my 2001 TT 180 Fwd, I thought that the issue with my car would be the turbo, but after reading some other post and watching videos on youtube about blown turbos, Im starting to think its not actually my turbo, so this is what it happens, when the car is cold on the morning, I start driving it and it seems to be fine, I can step on the gas pedal all the way to the floor and the car would respond, the problem beggins after the car is warm or has been running for a couple of hours, when you floor the pedal, the car starts to make a rattling noise and starts loosing power, I had this checked before, and they told me that it was the harness from the Solenoid Valve for turbo pressure control, they kind of fixed it cuz the car was working good without any rattle noise or loose of power, but now Im starting to have this problem again and its getting worst everyday, plus a couple of days ago I had the oil level light on, and when I stopped at the gas station I had to put 2 bottles of oil cuz there was almost nothing on the engine, I need to say that I dont have smoke, and I dont have oil on my garage floor, I dont know if this has something to do or if Im having 2 different issues with the car, something else, the rattling and the loose of power comes after 4,000 rpm, and if you put less pressure on the gas pedal it seems the the rattling goes away and the car starts to gain speed again, because whenever this happens the car slows down and It feels like ****, please help me out, Im thinking about making a video and uploading it to youtube so you guys can watch it and maybe have a better idea of whats going on, tnx!
My car has 110,000 Kms more less 68,000 miles.

 

Remove the hose to the throttle body and see if its covered in oil with a pool on the TB. Also (when cold), check the turbo and see if there is play in the wastegate arm. The wastegate nut or flapper could have come loose and cause this noise. Im guessing this is what they are calling the "turbo pressure control" you are refering to.

 

check the engine code. if something shows up about that selinoid then Get that part number, purchase and replace the part. Lets us know if its working ?

 

Ok, my tt is back again, it had 3 issues.
1. Loose Hose from the DV
2. One of the metal locks from the timing belt cover was loose
3. The MAF was giving me a real hard time

So I dont know exactly why the hose got loose from the DV but it was like that, so whenever i wanted to run my car the car would start loosing power and would start shaking wich would make the lock from the timing belt start hiting the cover and make the rattling noise (At least thats what I think) and well for the loose hose on the DV I dont know what effect had with the car but after fixing that my TT came back and the rattling is not anymore there, plus I got my boost back and I can go all the way to 6,000 rmp and the car would keep pushing.

By the way I got an offer for a 2005 Audi A6 3.2, what do you think of this car?? It looks great and it has about 40,000 miles on it, but I dont know, Im 23 i dont want to look like a dad and If I get it I would be doing a S6 conversion to it, what do you guys think? TT or A6?
