Hi

I bought a 2005 D5 a couple of months ago, seems to be turning out to be a bit of a lemon though

Intermittently, I get 'Engine Service Required' - when this message appears, it seems the turbo stops working (I think - I'm not mechanic-y but I can't hear turbo whine, and there's no boost). It was suggested that an oil/filter and fuel filter change would help, but since having that done it's still happening.

If I turn the engine off and start up again, the turbo is working just fine, as if the computer has reset the message or something! It maybe happens on 10% of journeys.

Any ideas how I might diagnose it without throwing bucketfuls of cash at my nearest dealer?

Thanks
