Turbo cutting out & Tyne Tunnel

Featured Replies

Hi folks, here is my problem.

It only happens after accelerating in 5th gear upon exiting the Tyne Tunnel. I get to about 2500 revs and the turbo cuts out, the engine management light comes on and the message EMISSIONS WORKSHOP pops up on the maxi-dot.

The turbo still works in low gears but not top gear.

If I switch the engine off and then back on, the turbo works in all gears but the management light stays on, for a couple of days and then goes off as well, and the car runs normally.

I'm guessing something to do with the fumes in the tunnel is affecting a sensor or probe in the car, has anybody experienced a similar problem?

Thanks for any advice.

Is it only in the tunnel that this happens then?

Yep, everything is fine whilst in the tunnel, but after exiting and picking up speed again after the toll booth as soon as I go through the gears, the turbo will SOMETIMES cut out as stated above.

Doesn't happen everytime.
