Hi There,
So we have had a 64 plate 2.2D SD4 for a number of years and a few times a year we are pulling out of a junction, or a roundabout, and we have virtually no power for about 3-4 seconds, then bang, the turbo kicks in and we are away.
it happens totally randomly, but the other day my wife said it happened 4 times in one trip, and then is absolutely fine, no issue. No dashboard warning light ever lights when it is doing this, or when we start or stop the car.
As a Lead Mechanical Engineer I seem to think it could be the turbo controller/actuator/wastegate issue, but looking through some of the posts on this site seems to be reasonably common, but no real fix?
i have a basic OBD fault code scanner which I connected last night, with no stored or live codes on the ECU.
seen the throttle reset instructions on here, but not carried this out, but can anyone assist me me please with a workable theory?
