Warning on dash today, reduced performance! Car temperature ok, weather hot, climate blasting out.

I stopped her, locked her, Unlocked her and set off again up the A1 following a truck (48.9mpg) and it was fine. Warning lit up again near home as I asked for some revs coming uphill.

Any ideas chaps, other than to get her looked over?

She's a 2011 Vogue with just under 60k.

Thanks in begrudging anticipation.......

Could be split hoses if it happens underload. I'm assuming it's a diesel?? Were there big clods of smoke coming out of the back when it happened?

No, nothing like that. I did notice a little water discharge underneath however I put that down to air con.

Get it plugged in to diagnostic soon as you can. Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

3.6?

If so typical split hose symptoms. dead easy to sort look at the wiki for how to repair a split hose and check for leaks.

The plastic intake manifold can split on the 4.4 which can cause a similar result to a split hose on the 3.6. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Apologies chaps, she's an oil burner TDV8

3.6 or 4.4 ?

As NMJ states - on a 3.6, this message is often down to a split intercooler hose.

If you accelerate hard & look in your mirror you should see black smoke which is usually the give away.

If its a 4.4 and still has the original secondary turbo inlet isolation valve then the valve could be sticking.

5 minute job to check them and you only need a screwdriver. Have a search on here loads about it. If they are fine atleast you can rule them out without paying someone to check these for you!

You're in Leeds, fancy a pint?

Do you mean check the hose mate or the secondary inlet valve thingy?

Cheers

Is it a 3.6 or 4.4

Rotary gear selector or classic gear selector ?

It's certainly the weather for a pint or 3 that's for sure!!

Depends which engine it is as to which problem it could be! Both v common

This thread might help - I don't know much about the 4.4's (even though I have one )
