so your check engine light is on? if it is you need to go see what codes its throwing cuz it sounds like your having one or more misfire and are now in limp mode.

ps - i would keep to yourself how fast you go on the highway, it is a pretty dumb thing to do and everyone here will make sure you know that.

 

limp mode makes it so your turbo doesn't get any boost to the engine so you don't FUBAR your nice Audi.



and Im thinking it's probably a combo of gaskets too, and possibly a missfire

 

yes its on and flashing when it bogs out.

i like to drive slow to save gas but once i get on iti stay on it. imonly 17 haha
wouldnt it overheat if it was my head gasket.
it use to smoke before white smoke and i went to kragen and bought some head gasket repair and dumped that in and then the smoke went away.
could it have came back?
ive been running rich for a while but it never really smoked,

 

ughhhhh this sucks.
my dad is yelling at me cus he thinks its my piston rings.
how would i know if its my piston rings?

 

flashing cel = misfire

probably have a bad coilpack since you are running rich, no spark to ignite the air/fuel and your seeing it come out the exhaust. just a guess though.

 

whats a coilpack?

 

we just took out my sparks and there was oil all over them.

 

coil packs are those things that sit above your spark plugs, they act as a distributor on the 1.8t, which we are all assuming you have.



Edit_______

well sounds like your gasket's are leaking, plus you probably have some bad coilpacks


here is what I would do...
1) not drive tomorow, oh well on day won't kill you. My car sits at home while I am here at college and I'm still alive.
2) Run a diagnostic again and see if you can get anything else besides an error message, (try using a Vag-Com (Audi/VW secific diagnostic tool) if you can find one)
3) Start looking for parts
4) replace parts either yourself or by a shop
5) enjoy your better Audi after you fix it all



No matter what you are without a car for a bit, sorry to say, but it's the only way to make sure you don't totally F%<K up your Audi.

 

haha, a coilpack is what gives the spark plug its spark... if you have a bad coilpack then there is no spark in the cylinder.

 

ohh
alright.
soo how do i know if the coil packs are bad
