hi all

ok, took the car out before (vect c 1.9cdti 16v), lost all power after 2500rpm, no turbo nothing. had to restart the car and all was ok for 2 mins then same problem again, at the same time i noticed the thermostat had started working again, its not worked for 6 mnth so i thought it must be linked to the turbo problem.

just had the AA out and the fault codes are as follows

p2279 plus - intake air leak
p0105 - map sensor

any of you guys experienced these problems and if so how do ya fix it

cheers all your help is welcomed

btw the 1st code had the plus at the side of it which the AA told me was the fault that was causing the problem

Hose leak from MAF to turbo
4) Turbo problems - including vacuum hoses
5) Hose leak from turbo to intercooler

check for splits in the intake hoses - the ones either side of the intercooler are prone as is the intercooler itself, but you would usually hear a whistling.
