my car has suffered a sudden loss of power under acceleration
it still drives and the clutch isnt slipping its just got so sluggish. Could the turbo be buggered?
Is there a small picture of an car with a spanner in the middle lit up in orange on your dash. If so the engine has gone into safe mode as a sensor has gone down.
If not then yes it could possibly be the turbo, this would normally be accompanied by smoke though.

My turbo died at 70k miles and needed to be replaced. I mainly operate on motorways and complained heavily that a non serviceable, non maintainable part should "wear out"
My dealer agreed and gave me a 25% discount against a new one fitted. Still too blooming expensive though.
