You are one of the best on KZbin. You deserve more followers. Keep it up

@Tate.TopG. Thank you!

Nicely done, dude! Good guys like you are the reason why I don't go to the stealership for repairs.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@aparris911 Thank you!

[@sprinterfix]

Bruh, I preach this stuff every day, the steps you took in this video are perfect, I especially like the boost comparisons graph test, as most people dont know a scan tool can do that. What is worse is the number of times I have heard this story from dealershipts and the number of turbos that get replaced unecessarily.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@sprinterfix Yeah!

[@choi85silva]

Root cause analysis well done. Now that the correlation is strong you can prove cause-effect and back it up with evidence registration! I have the same car and same issue so definitely getting a second opinion. Thanks for sharing !!!

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@choi85silva My Pleasure! Thanks

[@vinhbvuong]

Wow! Makes such a difference if troubleshooting the issue is done properly. I really hate when Dealership Service only comes with the extreme solutions for customers. Like, "you need a new turbo" or "your engine will need to be replaced and it will cost $46,000" (personal prior experience with Mercedes).

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@vinhbvuong it's sad

[@redgadget6569]

ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS, what we, accident investigators and pilots do to survive. Great job brother, unfortunately, it is difficult to find a trustworthy mechanic, unless you are referred to or know the person. Sterlerships are simply UNBELIVABLE. Thanks for sharing. I am having the same exact problem. Merci mon cher.

[@sneakdza]

You can even see the pipe & gasket push out from the pressure when accelerating , dealer definitely just wanted the money for a turbo replacement

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@sneakdza Yeah!! Now I wonder if they were gonna replace the entire turbo and charge the customer for it, or maybe they weren't gonna replace it but still the customer for it and then just fix the leak, or did they even know it was just a leak!! it's sad!!

[@DrBruno50]

Emergency room physicians and auto mechanics have lost the ability to make the correct diagnosis based on a competent history and examination. Instead they both rely on testing and then they frequently lack the ability to interpret the test results. The Audi mechanic fails to consider the differential diagnosis’s for loss of boost. A little good detective work can go a long way and in the process save a bunch of money and avoid unnecessary testing. As a physician over the years I have seen a steady deterioration in doctors ability to make a correct diagnosis without subjecting their patient to every test possible. A problem that apparently affects many different occupations.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@DrBruno50 Yes! That's True, I see it in our industry all the time unfortunately, There is a Slogan by One of my Favorite KZbinr Scannerdanner, he often says don't be a Parts Changer! I think a lot of Doctors are Parts Changers Too! Now I'm gonna start asking for a second opinion when it comes to Medical stuff Lol!!

[@michaellukar2201]

Hi guys . Great fault diagnosis but correct me if I’m wrong are you driving the customers car with your dirty work gear on . I noticed the guy in the passenger seat with dirty arms . My car was due for its MOT not long ago. I watched the workshop staff lying on the dirty workshop floor then jumping in to the customer car . I told the MOT guy nicely that he is not to sit in my car until he gets charged . My car still passed its MOT .

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@michaellukar2201 Thanks, tthe car didn't get dirty, we made sure the car was clean before delivery!

I have the same issue it happens a couple of times a month but only when I go up a big hill and roll into the throttle but not every time I go up it’s fine on the flat engine will happily redline when I try and force it to go into limp mode I get the same codes I also get fuel pressure low and fuel pressure high

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@jackrees5325 you might have a boost leak or your fuel pump is failing!

[@jackrees5325]

@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair thanks for the reply I have vcds due to be delivered this week my current scan software won’t do live data on Audi so when that comes I will be having a good look

[@KRTube75]

Reason 6981 why I do all my own work on everything. HVAC, Cars, Home repairs, etc. I can buy all the equipment needed to diagnose and perform a repair and still only have a fraction into what the "expert" was going to charge me. And I have yet to have the "expert" to be correct in their diagnosis. I now have all the tools for future jobs if needed.

I've had the same code come up on my 3.0l tdi q7 2006,,mine lost boost,then it come back,then I lost it again and now it doesn't boost at all,how do you remove the turbo can't seem to find any video

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@chrissmith-gn8pv did you get it diagnosed?

[@chrissmith-gn8pv]

@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair I took it to an audi specialist payed 600 gbp for them to change the pipe from the turbo to the exhaust manifold,went to collect it and they said it might not of fixed it but it needed changing. I've bought a new turbo with actuator,there's nothing wrong with the engine,checked all pipes I can see visually couldn't see a problem,I had my glow plug light come up once or twice but now it doesn't come up at all,the cars just got no boost it still drives above 60mph just takes a lot longer to get there then usual
