My friend's Merea diesel has a problem where he loses all power when driving around a sweeping left hand bend, e.g. motorway intersections. The fiat dealer doesn't know what's wrong, but has suggested a new ecu, even though there are no error codes from it. Any ideas anyone?

check the fuel line pressure to the injector. (i think)

Hello , i cant see why it'd need a new ecu ,but has he checked the connections on it just to be sure , im no machanic but id say theres something up with fuel lines/pump poss som kind of defect in the tank ,has he got it running and jacked it up on that side to recreate the prob?
id be interested in hearing what the prob was and how he got it sorted.
