Hi everyone ive had my 03 plate audi a4 1.8t convertible since march and im now having nothing but problems. On every cold start up it rattles like hell once warm the rattle seems to go away and turns into a ticking noise. Also its seems very sluggish and after a long run the car goes into limp mode with the engine management light showing on the dash and losing power. Any help would be very grateful

Thanks in advance

Tim

 

Have you been able to get codes pulled from the car? If so, what are the codes?

This could be numerous issues ranging from a misfire to faulty O2 / ECT sensors.
