Hi,
took it for a blast today on the motorway.
While going full pelt up a gentle hill the power suddenly dropped off. It still drove but was very under powered until I switched it off and on again, then it was fine.
It felt like limp mode except there was no MIL lit.
Hawkeye shows code P0299. I thought this could be a MAP sensor issue but searching on here it looks like it might be a turbo hose, so I might was well have a go at that.
How difficult is it to change the turbo to intercooler hose? Is it the sort of thing I could just dive into?
I don't have massive mechanic skills but basic stuff I can do ok.
Thanks for the help.
