C3 1.4 HDI EXCLUSIVE 2003 Management light worries

Post by mlocky657 »

Hi all as u may or may not be aware i had a problem with my air flow pressure from the turbo which was simple an air flow pipe disconnected. Had no problems with it since that until today. Now today Ive changed my front disks and pads everything went well, gone out for a drive only approximately 4 miles into the drive i was doing around 50mph and the engine management light came on and lose of power was immediately evident this continued for about 15 seconds then the e/management light went off but it seem like there was a lack of turbo. I immediately thought that the air flow pipe had come off again. But after about another 30 seconds of lake of power it came back. Since this happened we drove for about another 5 miles with not a problem all the way home. since this happened its not happened again although I've not been back out. Has anyone any ideas or think of any reason why this may of happened? Thanks.

I would take a look in the Lexia locations thread, and contact any owners near to you. The EML can come on for a variety of reasons, and guessing won't help. The Lexia can (at least) show you any error codes generated, and these could help determine the issue;
