2004 XC70 D5 and 216k

Hello, I'm in France . Normandy lovely weather.
My car is totally different. I made 150 miles on motor way. The car doesn't have power , it was crushing at 65 miles but when press the gas looks lim it doesn't have power. Press all the way down it doesn't even makes a step down only after a second or two....loon gears. When I stop you can feel a hit like when puts no to first gear.
WHAT DO IS GOING ON???!!! It was so perfect a few days ago, so smooth and silent.
I am really thinking on selling my beloved car.
Many thanks

auto or manual?

check for intake / boost / intercooler/ turbo hoses and not split or popped off

[barrybritcher]

sorry looks like its auto. turning the car off and on will make it come back to normal mode if it went into limp mode for gearbox fault

Hello. Try for reply.
It's an auto. It doesn't look like a limp mode. Looks like it doesn't have turbo. Usually I can hear it spooling like a whistle and now nothing. The gearbox is clumsy .....I really don't understand. I can't check match now I don't have my visa with me. Somebody told me it could be the fuel pressure sensor....
I really don't know. It's. Very frustrating. There is no power.
Before the trip all levels were checked oil gearbox oil coolant all was good. The only thing different was when I tested the fuel I put a small bottle of FedEx injector cleaning. And the car was stop d for two days.....any relation? ......

Check the hose that goes into the inlet side of the turbo from the air filter it becomes soft and collapses under load from the suction of the turbo

Firstly, I hope your not stuck. Are there any lights in the dash, are the speedo and rev counter still working? If you have heart tonic can you shift it manually?

This could be significant if you haven't then changed the fuel filter.
In-tank injector cleaners can easily loosen debris and clog filters and your symptoms could be fuel starvation under load.

In the absence of anything and everything else, I would try to get the fuel filter changed.

Hello, try for the reply.
I'm not stuck the car runs and all but there is no juice....I have no lights on the dash everything works perfectly . I have replaced the fuel filter a month ago(Bosh ). About the tube.....well I have t check that...... How can I??? I can shift manually....and maybe it has more punch when in manual...
I am still moving from one side to the other ...but there is no punch. Looks like there is no turbo. There is no smoke. Only when I really press the gas then it takes a wile before step down then on hard accelerate there is a bit of black smoke..... I still have 3/4 of tank...would it help to add more clean fuel....???

Many thanks.....is frustrating ...I only go back to the uk on Friday. I want to make a smoke test.....

My car behaved like this a while back. Volvo replaced the air filter and it's been fine since. It does sound like fuel or air related as everything else is working.
