Turbo shuts off during the cruise

Hi everyone,

Haven't posted here for years as sold me Fabia and drove a Volvo and an Alfa for a while. I recently bought a 2004 Octavia 2.0 TDi from the Crawley down location. Great car, well looked after, around 50000 miles and full 12 month warranty plus great service at the sales center. It had a know fault (I know the previous owner) where the turbo would shut down sometimes while cruising on the motor way. I told them about it and the service center took a look. Apparently they replaced the EGR. So, I drove it for a while and first motorway drive the same happened to me! It's like a small loss of power when cruising. It's most noticeable though when you then leave the motor way and try to pull away. No turbo at all, it's like driving an SDI. Switch the engine off and back on and all is good. Sometimes the engine warning light comes on and sometimes not.

So, Crawley down Skoda service center had it in last week for 3 days. Replaced something and tested it and it was fine. I drove it and it happened within 10 min on the motorway. Took it back and they have had if for two days and have replaced something else and they think it might now be ok.

Thing is, they seem so unsure and very confused (plus slow at sorting things out!). Today they told me that the test drive went ok but the driver wants to drive a normal 2.0 TDi tomorrow and then get back in mine to check that they are the same! Seems a bit odd as the fault I'm having is very obvious. Lets just say I don't have much faith in them.

I've done some searching online and this issues comes up occasionally. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue and also if anyone can recommend anywhere else in sussex that does Skoda warranty work?

Thanks

Bradley
