Hi have you have the codes read ? any good garage can do it for you and will be far cheaper than a main agent, guessing it should be either OBDII or Canbus technology so shouldnt be hard to do and at least will give you a proper fault code

Hi the fault code given was P132B. Been told that the waste gate can stick and then the actuator tells the ECU something is wrong and puts the engine into limp mode. Hope this helps and you can come up with a solution.

Hi well like I said about the waste gate sticking. We striped down the turbo in situ by splitting it in half. removed the waste gate mechanism very intricate. cleaned it and removed all the carbon rebuilt it and the manuel lever moved free as a bird put the rest back together turned over the engine no warning lights a run down the road all working well not in limp mode so so much for £850. Thank you for your help.Bye from Vintage.
