 Peugeot 407 SW - 05 2.0 Intermittant turbo problem? - hillman1
I have recently started driving the Peugeot as one of our pool cars at work. It seems to have an intermittent fault with the turbo and I was wondering if anyone could give any pointers.
Generally seems fine to drive but on several journeys recently when on a motorway when going uphill it seems the turbo stops working to the extent that to get to the top you are having to drop down to 4th gear and the speed is falling away rapidly.
It has happened 3 times now, each time rectified by turning the engine off and then on again.
No other apparent symptoms, no lights on the dashboard for example, but fuel economy is not as good as I would have expected.
Thanks.
