Not sure that i understand
99 a4 1.8tq 5sp aeb
the other day i coming around a bend in the road that lead to a straight away. So i deceided to punch it,(like any normal human would do) hit 1 bar boost then POP ! My car starts to idle all out of wack, press the gas and nothing happens. just a struggle to move. then she dies right smack in the middle of an intersection.
sure enough a cop shows up while im trying to call my wife for triple A number and what do you know she doesnt answer, any OTHER time she picks up. i call the tow company tell to bring a flat bed. i still havent looked under the hood, cop wont let me get out till the tow truck comes. the tow truck comes. tow it to a parking lot (3 miles away) 61 dollars later i pop the hood, here the hose from the intercooler to the throtlebody came off at the throtlebody . put the hose back on tighten the clamp. i start the car, all is gooooood, couple of revs and i pull away. driving watching my boost gauge ,hit boost did it again. pull over (more like coast over) call a buddy he brings me a new clamp put it on didnt have a problem for ohhhh 2 weeks.
till tonight same thing, lucky me i had a spare this time and i didnt die in the middle of a intersection
so what i dont understand is why is the happening, and what causes this to happen? any nowledge whould be great thanks
