406 2.0 HDi Turbo Prob

Either you have a collapsing turbo pipe upstream of the turbo which is sucking flat under boost, though if this were the case you would get alot of black smoke from the exhaust, OR more likely, you have either a collaspsed cat or collapsed rear box which is blocking the exhaust.

OK

Will have a look at the pipe upstream as It has a new exhaust complete. That was fitted about a month ago.

Check the turbo pipe, but I would be very wary of the new exhaust- especially if it is of the cheap'n'nasty kwik-fit type..

Will do,

Have to go and have a look lunchtime.... boss might not be too happy if I go and pop the bonnet now!! lol

Any pipe thats squashed or oil contaminated & soft is liable to suck flat.

OK....

Had a good look around. Cant see any obvious squashed pipes. What I have noticed is that when runn> > Will do,

Depending on how much it expands, that could be normal and just a sign of the turbo boosting.

Hi

Problem sorted. The small 2inch rubber pipe that runs from the bottom of the turbo to the plastic pipe that joins the bottom of the intercooler had a lovely one inch split along itys length. Changed that and bingo... a proper HDi!! :-)

I assume that the failing exhaust had caused the split in the first place. Thanks all for the input
