Yeah, the engine just cranks over. It was having a bit of a farty thing going on with its first turn or so, almost a misfire. That was with the battery getting low though. Fresh battery was spinning it over fine and sounded normal.
When I've had boost leaks before on other Audi tdis they've all started and run just fine. It's only when you ask for power that you realise something is up.. no power and thick clouds of smoke until you get an underboost fault come up with the engine management light coming one. It's always been accompanied with a whooshing noise with all the air escaping. This fault was just a lack of power, coil light (emission control?) Not the engine light, then really rough running as if on hardly any cylinders. Swirl flap could be an issue... I really hope not. That's likely a destroyed engine if it is. Is there any way of checking that without dismantling?
