i think that you could be pissing in the wind where you might find that if you just bite the bullet and see a recommended mechanic, then all your troubles would be over.

what am i thinking of!! it's an old audi - our troubles are never over!!

I've been pissing in the wind since I got my first classic Audi Well, dad will bring torque wrench, I will check the knock sensors as I have removed the hoses etc. Hope that that will fix it, which I don't think, I'll look for someone who knows his AAN's

I'm no expert, but this isn't good is it?

No definitely not and it looks like you may have found your problem.Fingers crossed.

I moved it a bit with hand just to see if it's not loose, and there was a snap, by the time I've taken it out, it's disintegrated. There was some rust on the inside, so there's been a crack for some time.

I really hope this will fix it, and not that it's just another problem on the way

Knock sensor, green not the blue one?

Green is the long one, blue is the short one at the back IIRC

[hunker7]

That's it. fingers crossed it fixes it, as that will make my 400 mile drive on friday much more enjoyable.

You have boost?

You have boost?

Picking up a knock sensor from good guy Rikki Kitto tonight, and I'll let you know if i have a massive grin on my face.

[geneandbolly]

best of luck!!

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

Quite agree.!!

[hunker7]

... Of course that didn't fix my problem. I think it will be MAP, can't be the turbo. I can't do boost leak test, as i don't know how exactly and don't have access to air line.

Now it reaches 0.6 bar and that's it, no judder, no power loss.
