I know of the typical wastegate problems but I have 2 issues so thought I’d throw them past you guys and gals for your 2cents
first issue is the random turbo cutting off and no boost whatsoever until I turn engine off and restart it then it’s fine again, only happened maybe 4 times in 6 months and no warning or anything I don’t notice till I try accelerate and realise I’ve got as much power as public opinion on voting day,
second issue is I sometimes get what feels like a hard boost cut usually within the first 30 minutes of driving and the cars always stated it’s at temp (I have a Subaru so used to not boosting until warm and easy driving before shutting off engine), I don’t flat foot it either just a few times I’ve went maybe 3/4 throttle to get up to a bit of speed then bang hit a wall like boost cut but unlike the first issue the car will still boost fine right after it with no need to restart,
I’ve never had any dash light faults appear for any of these issues, I do have Icarsoft V2 and can read codes again more thoroughly and see if anything is stored (I’ll do this today), but any ideas?
i know it’s stated in the title but for those who don’t do engine codes my car is a E320 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel.
thanks in advance
