Hello All
First post, so be gentle!
Td5 90 2007. First threw a CEL 6 months ago with no other symptom.
This progressed to it doing it everytime I came of the dual cariiageway and was accopanied by a feeling of the engine "no deccelerating". A sort of burp. After this, the CEL would light and the engine would have no boost for 5-10seconds.
Recently, this has started to happen all the time. When the boost comes back, if you are on throttle (say for example you slowed for a corner a little and are then feathering the throttle round it), it feels like the engine surges, but I think this is just the boost coming back, as I say.
Final straw was a trip on the motorway last week where after doing this a lot, it began reducing power down to zero and left me coasting on the motorway. I was able to get going again by quickly turning the ignition key back one and then forwards again, but this is not a great way to drive!
Anyone got any ideas? Better yet a Nanocom near Brackley to check the codes?
Many thanks in advance!
