    Hi
    Right... what a mess..
    Let me explain... this car had a few parts replaced, some new, or reconditioned shall we say, still, the car still suffering the same problems...
    After a bit of diagnosing, found the issue, the problem was, that was the "new" part was at fault...
    And that, well, that I was not allows to touch!...
    UPDATE AND FOLLOW UP:
    The car ended up coming back... 3 months later and not fixed!!!
    Ended up, in order to save some money, to do something I so many times criticize... So, I know I have opened myself to some backlash... all of that on the last video on this car...
    Here are the videos for it...
    And the Audi comes back... let's fix it this time...

    Well done and glad you are paid for your time. Couple of thoughts, the original garage have tried to fix the car as cheap as possible. The garage obviously put the wrong parts that don't work, especially with modern electronics. Sometimes you have say no to jobs, and in this case give a written report as supporting evidence. The garage must know who you are and if they see this video, want to fix it properly for the customer!

    I had the issue where it kept going to limp mode because the dpf wasn't doing what it should be.
    Changed turbo actuator, programmed it, gave it a carbon clean and then cleared codes, has been running sweet for the last 3 years now

    But for new VW cars better to use Odis for diagnose.

      But lets say you change it and the next time the turbo ge5s changed and the correct turbo is ordered think about the mess that would cause the poor tecnician that tries to repair it. I think there will be a few turbos fitted before anyone will figure it out!

      Also true...
      I had a similar situation, where a DTC was deleted from the ecu, the car was going into limp mode with no codes... as soon as I flashed an ORI software the problem was immediately highlighted by the trouble code...

    My first thoughts with a glow plug light is tandem pump. Just started watching though. Also that coolant tank is overfilled jeez. Interesting that the turbo is different. The part number is the same just the revision of it looks differently. I'm surprised it would affect that much. I don't know how the electronic actuators work, but could the vacuum lines be reversed causing the swapped voltages?

    Does the actuator even move physically? Because if it's not, it may be a common power/ground problem between the actuator and the temperature sensor, as those look to be close together and may be on the same wiring loom.
    It's not stuck vanes because the turbo has been changed.

    Careful with the camera, you are filming your hands waving across the lens. We can't see through your fingers, so it is very distracting. I know people on youtube have started doing this and it has spread so everyone thinks they need to on videos - but it looks rubbish.
    If you are filming something close up and pointing out a part that's fine - if you are standing looking at a car, talking about it and then pointing at it, there is no need to as we know what you are pointing the camera at!
    Many youtube people do things for a joke and see how long it takes for others to copy their style.
    There was a youtuber that suddenly started using this huge old fashioned 1940s microphone and put it in front of the camera so it was difficult to see his face. Within days, other videos appeared and people had bought replica mics and put them so it blocked their face.
    It was a hoax as the person had a clip-on mic.
