Hey!
I have a loss of power problem with my Audi A4 1996 1.9TDI AFN engine. The car performs very well to say it has done 256,000 miles but just over the last couple of months it has started to loose large amounts of power and i think it goes into a 'limp home mood' where it doesn't seem to want to exceed 3 thousand revs or so in any gear unless you switch off the ignition and restart it which seems to clear the fault and it runs normal again.
The loss of power always occur's when i am either overtaking or have my foot flat down on the accelerator (only in 3rd or 4th gear) and the car feels as if it has almost come to a stand still which is quite scary when overtaking.
Some people have suggested to me that the Air Mass Meter AMM might be the fault and that a way of checking this out would be to dis-connect it and then see how the car performs. I did this and the car performed even worse as if it was in the limp home mood before i even sat off!
Does anybody have any suggestions as the fault for this or any solutions, i would be very grateful? And in theory if the AMM was the fault would disconnecting it solve the poblem?
Thankyou Matt
