Hi guys! It's my first thread here, so I'm going to introduce myself, I'm Tymek, from Rzeszow, Poland, owner of 08' C30 1.6D.

I have weird issue with my car. I'm driving it for 4 months and it had never happened before. Few days ago while driving on a highway I noticed that my car has no power. Acceleration was like it weights a few tonnes. I thought it may be turbo, which leaks a bit so it needs some regeneration, but when I started the engine the next day everything was fine. The next day I was driving on a highway the issue has repeated. Pedal to the metal and the car was accelerating from 100 to 120km/h in about... 10 seconds? After coming back home, I turned the engine off for a 5 minutes, then turned it on and everything seemed to be fine again. Today while I was driving to work the car has jerked and the engine revs started to go down, without any reaction on a gas pedal. When I almost stopped because of no reaction the car showed all of the lights on the dash. Then I turned the engine off and on again and it is running with no issues.

Has anybody faced a problem like this? What should I check at first?
There's no check-engine or any faults.
