2000miles from home in southern Italy! Sudden power loss with dashboard warning 'engine management fault'. Car re-started and OK for a while then same again. Any suggestions appreciated- or do I simply try and locate a dealer?

I'd find a dealer to read the codes - and drive there slowly

It could be something like EGR valves and if you cane it you could blow a turbo

I hope you have breakdown insurance

If the dealer deems it not fit to drive home, then your breakdown cover should sort out repatriation.

Or maybe just call the breakdown insurance & let them deal with it......

Yet again money on passenger side turbo hose

Get a screwdriver and have it off check under the webbing for a split. It can be repaired temporarily with gaffer tape if you drive really gently. Or some self amalgamating and reinforcement tape if you can find any!

I would agree if under hard acceleration & black smoke from the exhaust.

So I guess it depends on what "sudden power loss" means

The top hoses are always worth a check

That's how mine went in France, little bit of smoke, but mostly bong/system fault and limp home, didn't really notice the smoke until after the bong. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Thanks for the help. Located extensive split out of sight on upper offside intercooler hose. When everything opens up in the morning will see what I can locate locally to 'lash-up' and get back on the road then a visit to the dealer in Foggia!

What is it with all this contaminated European air thats melting our hoses!!

at least you have found the culprit.

see if you can find some hose repair tape, there should be something around. If not then some gaffer tape should be ok if you drive very carefully. Don't be tempted to repair it with electrical tape, its not strong enough.....i know from trial an error. Something with some sort of fibre in it would be the best bet to hold the pressure.  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

And replace both hoses when you do it - if one has gone, the other is not usually far behind

Lashed together with tape and whipped with strong and no problem reaching dealer 40 miles away in Foggia. unfortunately no replacement part but a back street garage nearby cut out split section and splinted with a section of exhaust pipe bent and shaped + X2 additional jubilee clips - X 2 chaps about to have their lunch dropped that for 40 minutes to sort there and then and then tried to refuse any payment.! Another 300 miles later all absolutely fine and not now anticipating replacement until back in UK.

Take it gently and you should be ok  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Good news.

Just changed mine, very straight forward.

Send Dan a message and they will be waiting for you on your return.
