Hey guys, my mom's car (2000 A4 1.8T) is having some issues, need a little help with diagnosis.
Symptoms:
- Odd noise, sort of a rattle/flutter? See video.
- Seems like it's down on power, less punch when the turbo spools up than it used to.
I'm thinking bad turbo, boost leak, bad diverter valve? Kinda leaning toward a bad diverter valve at the moment. Thoughts appreciated, thanks guys.
