Have you been able to hook it up to a scanner and see if there are any codes present? That's where I would start. Also, have you checked the fluid level/condition in the transmission? You had mentioned shifting issues, so I would definitely check that as well. Good luck.

have the transmission adaptations reset via das.

if that does not help - you will need some advanced diagnostics reading the tcu real time data and comparing it to a good one

has the car been flashed (especially the tcu) in any way?

reset your tcu adaptations, but beyond that- you are on your own... if anything see if you can replace the tcu with a stock one (coding might be required) and if your problem goes away.

My car was doing something similar i think. You would be driving along all normal and then the exhaust note would change and there would be no power specifically no turbo boost. Shut the car off and sometimes it would go away sometimes not. My problem turned out to be a faulty ignition switch, but my car is stock with no mods.

I will check that as well but star diagnosis must have showed that faulty code I think
