Im having a problem with my LC90 colorado 3.0td 1999 plate.
The Turbo is cutting out when under heavy pressure, accelerating hard up to 75/80mph while on the motorway. I am getting the little turbo warning light, which looks like a little double ended tap.
I used to have a diesel audi and had almost exactly the same problem.
If i stop and switch the engine off and on again and rev the engine from under the bonnet i can hear the turbo spinning up and performance has pretty much returned but can soon cut off again under hard acceleration.
Has anybody had this problem and what was wrong?
Symptoms: turbo cutting out when under hard acceleration. warning light for turbo appears and i think the car is driving completely without the turbo. if engine is switched off and on turbo works again.
possible problem: ive heard everything from sticking turbo vanes to a faulty MAF sensor?
Could i fix this with one of those turbo cleaner sprays such as "wynns turbo cleaner?"
