Might have a turbo issue..?

[AlRed86]

I was driving home on the motorway the other day and suddenly couldn't maintain my speed and had no power there, I dropped the speed down and got it home fine. Obviously I'm thinking as there was no boost the turbo had gone but when I drove it the next day it appeared the power loss wasn't there anymore.

Obviously I didn't want to push my luck so drove at low revs. Potentially thinking maybe mass air sensor is faulty, hence the 'reset' when i came back to it the next day. Anyone else experienced this issue?

It might be a turbo fault, but it might equally be many other things including limp mode. What other symptoms, such as strange sounds, exhaust smoke, electrical or instrument anomolies did you notice?

I couldn't say I noticed anything else like strange noises or odd smells. I've got an MOT next week anyway so I'm going to ask them to look at it for us.

Get the garage to do a deep discharge test of the battery when you take it in. An old battery can cause the power loss you mention by putting the car into limp mode.
