Hi, and to the forum.

It may not be the turbo. If a serious fault occurs (that turns on the Engine Management Light (EML)) it is possible that the ECUs put the engine into 'Limp Mode' to prevent potential damage to the engine, but with enough power to (hopefully) get you home.

You will need to get the van onto a Lexia system. A generic code reader will not help you here. There are Forum members who could help out here (although, with the current lockdown, they won't be available at this time) as they have Lexia equipment. Here is the link to the members who have a Lexia;
