Theres no warning lights, to me it seems the turbo fails to spool up as theres massive turbo lag. Then for what ever reason, when I have left the accelerator, the car seems to spool up and power away (quite dengerous first time this happened, but luckily no cars ahead).

So once I can get what I assume is the turbo to spool up or the car starts pulling away, all is well the accelerator and the engine responds as per normal.

Can anyone who have had this problem confirm if the replacement temp sensors resolves the issue?
I am going to book my car to the dealer to have a look.
Yes! It resolves the problem.
I've done that at October (both DPF temp sensors) and November again because the second sensor was malfunction...
