    Default Help - Spanner, then no spanner!

    Hi all,

    2003 2.2Dti

    Coming down the M6 @ 70mph on cruise control.

    All of a sudden lost power, spanner light on.
    Car would allow me to remain at 70mph, but sounded and felt like no turbo.
    Came off at a junction and slowed down for traffic lights, @ 20mph spanner goes off, full power again! (with turbo).

    Bit later @ 75mph on A road on cruise same scenario spanner on, no power.
    Slowed into a layby, as soon as it hits 20mph, spanner off, full power again!!!

    It did this 3 times in total.

    I have noticed lately when on Mway, it feels / sounds a little sluggish. But going up through the gears, normal road driving it goes like the clappers.

    Any ideas before I get the local garage to tell me what the fault code is?

    p0105 is a fault on your manifold pressure sensor it usually says there is a voltage error .
    This can be usually cleared by taking the sensor off and cleaning the electrical contacts.
    While your there you may as well check to see if the breather has any gunk in it
