My car has the 2.0 tdi engine. How do I find out the code?

Is there anyone in within reasonable radius of Callington, Cornwall who would be willing try unclogging my turbo using the caustic soda method? I will pay a fair price for this service.

I forgot to mention that when my Octavia goes into limp mode I pull over and switch off the ignition and turn it back on after a few seconds and it apparently resets itself.

I have a 57 plate Octavia 2.0l tdi with 135k. Have only had it a few months and have just had cambelt, water pump and fan belt changed. Also new sump because was told it was leaking oil. However, when I accelerate up a hill I lose power and it goes into limp mode. Two different garages have told me they think it needs a new turbo unit, which would cost me about £1000 at a non-franchise garage. This is a lot of money for me, especially after having the cambelt etc done. Does anyone have any other ideas about this problem, or know of a turbo specialist who could do it cheaper?
