2008 Freelander 2 2.2 TD4
Been having a problem recently with the engine losing power.
Symptoms:-
If cruising at ¾ throttle the car is fine until I put my foot to the floor on inclines or to overtake the car dies until I take my foot off of the accelerator then it will pick up again I can feather the throttle to keep the boost on but If I demand full throttle the car dies.
The Turbo boost shows 22.5 psi and then dies to around 5 psi until I go back to ¾ throttle.
I have use Torque android app to read the ECU No fault codes are showing.

If I drive the car hard through the gears the car will accelerate all the way up to and beyond the speed limit with no hesitations and will keep going until I run out of road.

I have changed the fuel filter, checked the turbo waste gate which operates freely by hand.


Any suggestions would be appreciated as I'm at a loss don't you just love modern cars!
