2014 Audi Q7 3.0L TDI Prestige, CEL on and in Limp mode.
(Moved to Audi Forum, but I don't know how to delete this)
Hello everyone.
I recently bought a 2014 Audi Q7 3.0L TDI Prestige. It ran fine for a few days then CEL illuminated (steady) then about a day later it would go into limp-mode until I shut if off and restarted, then limp mode was off but CEL still on.
Now it is in constant limp and VCDS shows:
![Font Rectangle Circle Pattern Number]()
![Font Art Pattern Parallel Circle]()
![Font Line Rectangle Number Brand]()
![Font Art Rectangle Number Brand]()
Is it common for the variable turbo vanes to get carbon buildup and stick?
And, if so, does that fry the actuator?
Good to be here. Thanks!
