Hi guys,
having a few problems with my X Reg 2.0 HDI, couldn't find anything similar in previous posts so wonder if somebody can help...
I've had the car a few months now, it's done just under 100,000 miles. when I first bought it, it ran pretty well, but I felt there was lack of power, and a turbo 'lag' , then I started to get an issue where basically if I was in 3rd or 4th gear, and revved over 3k the car would 'stall' which is never good when you're pulling out of a lay-by on the A12....
I've googled the problem a few times, but I'm not too clued up on engines so not sure how to fix it or even what the issue is... BUT I now have a new problem... 2 weeks ago my alternator belt snapped, since then i seem to have much more power in my turbo, it kicks in quicker and runs smoother, but when i hit 4th gear, around 2k revs it goes into 'limp' mode until i reach about 2.5k revs then the turbo re-engages, it also seems to have stopped cutting out!
has anybody else had this issue, or anything similar and know what I can do to fix this... my Mot is due this coming weekend also!!
thanks,
Darren
