My Audi A6 power loss

    Hi everyone! last month I bought a 2005 Audi A6 2.0 TDi really stoked about it, it was a huge leap from my 2000 Skoda Octavia 1.6 (served me well may God bless its soul)
    The Audi was great to drive with loads of power and to be honest its soo sexy in black :) anyway a week ago as I was pulling out of the motorway I noticed that I suddenly lost power and the car seemed to have entered limp mode, So I drove it as it is and got home safely, left the car for a couple of hours to cool down and I thought I might go for a spin hoping that the limp mode was a fluke, unfortunately the Gods were not on my side on this one, it started nicely drove fine but after 10 or so minutes (usually when the engine in warm) it goes into limp mode.. Ive been using the car as it is for the past couple of days and it was the same story it kept on going into limp mode without fail...
    does anyone know whats up with my car??

    The only way to tell is to have the engine codes read.

    Too far from me, i was going to offer scan it but seems you have had that done. It would have been wise to remember the code alright.

    A code read isn't going to diagnose the problem. It's only the first step.

    If you pay somebody who knows what they are doing to diagnose it then it shouldn't cost a whole lot to get an answer.

    Found the problem, it's the connector to the n75 valve one of the 2 wire broke off so i took a piece of wire and just connected it, car is back to normal

    seems like the problem connected to this is the play of the actual engine. since the wire were cable tied to a bracket it left no way for the wires to move around so the engine ripped the wires out whenever i revved.

    problem solved admins may close the thread and thank you for all the input people!
