Does anybody else have issues with the Engine Management Light coming on....It said I needed a new Turbo. A new one was fitted, and the light came on again... seems electrical issues but has anyone got any experience of what this could be?

Perhaps if you supply more details of your vehicle, e.g. engine and year, someone may be able to help. The engine warning light is a general indication that a fault code has been raised. I am surprised that a fault code would specifically indicate that a new turbo was required.

I have only just joined this site, so no sure how it all works... I've just also posted this....
Hello,
I'm new to this. I am looking for some help with electrical issues!
The problem started last September when for no apparent reason the Engine Management Light came on. It put the motorhome into limp mode and I got it home. It was due its service in the next few days so I told the garage. They said the warning light indicated that the turbo was failing. They reset the warning light and completed a service. After that, it seemed fine as I drove it several hundred miles from Dover to Portsmouth and back and no issues.
In November, the light came back on, and it was the same code. I contacted a garage and a new turbo was installed. I drove the motorhome for about 5 miles and it seemed fine. A week later the light came on again, with the same 'turbo' code. The garage who fitted the turbo came back and suggested an electrical issue was causing the issue, possibly a fraud or chewed part of the wiring loom.
They have investigated this and can't find any breaks in the wiring loom, but have found other issues along the way. They have replaced a fuse board that had slightly melted and now say the ECU or Instrument cluster needs looking at....
Just wondered if anyone else has had this issue or similar and how it was fixed?
