hello Simpy here, just joined.. I have a 55 plate Fiat Stilo that i really love, anyway the other day the engine light suddenly came on, took to garage and had check done and turbo boost pressure came up as a fault... They are having it back next week to have a thorough look and hopefully sort it..

What i would like to know is it safe to drive until then.. I have to travel to work its about ten miles there and ten back each day

Thanks
 
Hi,
It depends on what the failure is. If it is overboosting it could cause damage. If you do drive it try to keep it off boost and be gentle on the throttle.
Likely causes are a faulty boost sensor or stuck wastegate actuator, unless there is lots of air noise on boost which indicates a blown hose or intercooler.

HTH,
Robert G8RPI.
