I'm seeking advice regarding my 1.3 MJ 2006.
Ok, so I've had a good trawl through the Panda forum and found several posts reporting loss of power under hard acceleration, hitting 3,000 revs or so and it seems to go into 'limp' mode. I have this problem but it only occurs in 4th and 5th gears. I can rev freely right through the range in 1st, 2nd and 3rd but if I attempt to go hard through 4th it seems to lurch around 3k revs and won't advance. It also happens if I'm cruising in 5th and accelerate hard.
I've read other posts suggesting turbo wastegate actuator seized or egr stuck open but surely this would affect all gears and not just 4th and 5th???
Please help as in all other respects it's a cracking little car but I'm coming to the end of my tether with it.
By the way, I've had code reader on it and it does say something about turbo overboost. It also comes up with MAF and MAP sensor faults but I have replaced both of these units.
Thanks in advance for your help.
