My rpms revs up while driving and then stalls

Asked by Marcolena Dec 14, 2017 at 12:46 AM about the 2007 Audi A6 3.2 quattro Sedan AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Today I was driving my car to work and the rpms
started to rev up to like 5000 rpm while I was only
doing 35mph then wouldn’t move any faster than
like 5mph. Occasionally my car will go into limp
mode, But my car wasn’t in limp mode. I was
wondering what could be the cause. I looked on
other forums and I got a collective answer of
needing a new pcv but I’m not sure. Oh and lately
I’ve been having to jump start my car everyday even
though I recently got a new battery in October. Is
my car just a lost cause or a simple fix. I have a
2007 Audi A6

most likely your throttle body is going bad, some mechanics can just clean it up with special chemicals and put it back on and it will fix the problem, newer cars have a electronic throttle body so the unit needs to be replaced but its not that expensive depending on the vehicle
