About a month ago on a Sunday morning after 2 miles the car cut out and showed the EMR fault light and failed to start for about 5 minutes.
Exactly the same think happened two weeks later on Sunday morning after 2.1 miles!
Now the problem is occurring several times a day.
Regular depollution fault light.
Limp home power reduction seems operating although no indication of this inside the car.
Starts fine when cold but when hot virtually always does not start until left for at least 5 minutes. These MAY not be related.
The classic cure for the depollution fault is to add cataclean. None in stock so I used a clean the carbon filter additive which is also suggested. Next solution is to but Shell or BP fuel for a tank or so.
Have had the carbon clean in for three days now and rarely get the depollution fault warning but I can clear it when it does.
But seemingly being stuck in limp mode is annoying! Should there be any indication inside?
Alternatively what fault could cause poor HOT starting and limit the power output?
It was stated to have had a new turbocharger within the last 20k by the seller!
How can I know if the turbo is working? I never feel that I can ever hear it on this model. Until recently car worked fine and could reach 95 easily!
