Ur Quattro Engine Trouble

pilotboy · 07-04-2005, 11:54 AM

Hi everyone, I'm a forum newbie from from the Channel Islands with a couple of small problems and wondered if anyone may be able to help?

My 1984 ur quattro is now refusing to start from cold, (once hot, no problem) and also refuses to rev above about 4000 rpm, just as the turbo is kicking in. Its absolutely sweet to this point but pops and bangs from the exhaust as if some form of rev limiter cuts in as the turbo pressure increases. Any ideas? Any help would be gratefully received as no one in Jersey has been able to identify the trouble. Thanks very much

well i dont know for sure but I'm having power problems around 4000 rpm too and mine are due to an intake leak i dont know which car you have but check all your intake hoses for leaks.
