Morning all
I'm suffering from an intermittent loss of power on my 2008 (08) 2.0 TDCi 140, 130k on the clock, which I've owned for 4 years. It feels to me like the turbo isn't always kicking in. This has been happening for a couple of weeks.
I've found that it's fine if I rev to 3.5k in 1st gear, change to second and keep the revs high, but if I short shift 1st & 2nd then try to accelerate in 3rd it sometimes won't go (but is equally sometimes fine). If I persevere with my foot to the floor, it'll usually take off and work normally from about 3.2k revs, and is then fine again for a while. It'll also clear if I change down.
No other symptoms - no flashing warning lights or error messages, no smoke out the tail (at least not visible in the mirror).
There's no pattern to it that I can find yet. It sometimes does it on and off all day, yesterday it did it in the morning but was fine in the afternoon.
Any ideas please? TIA
