On the way to see davren today my engine management warning light came on, power dropped and wont rev up above 3000 rpm, light stays on and power doesnt come back even after switching off.

Probably bad servicing, I'd take it to a different garage

Use the search, this item has come up quite a few times

 

[Davren]

The phrase "Physician heal thyself" springs to mind.

Bet you're glad you came down now.

at a guess its p1221 and p0220, erase codes, reset MAF sensor. works fine
and if u can find them clean accelerator pentomiters (i cant )

My bets on:

fractured tubing between VGT valve and actuator
bad connection on VGT valve (if still down low)

I'd want to talk to the customer, get all the information I can while filling out a methodology sheet and a 7 point plan

 

[NumanR]

The car is also 4 years old, can I get this under warranty?

 

[T14086]

If you go into showroom & shout loud enough

 

[NumanR]

Code came up P0236, anyone?

 

[Argonought]

Already have

 

[dave]

boost problem map fault?

 

[NumanR]

Its an AA map, never had any problems with it before, I did fit a GPO inducing kit on it the other week, could that cause this problem?

Personally I prefer RAC maps for some reason.

Oh... and did you use a 1st class stamp when fitting the induction. I know it sounds odd but I've heard it goes quicker than sticking a 2nd class stamp on the MAF :chin:
