    Ok, a common problem but trying to nail it down to something specific.

    Symptoms are limp mode, mainly going up a steep hill in 4th gear and above around 2000rpm when engine hot. Happens very randomly.

    I'm guessing possibly a boost hose fault, my turbo is at back of engine so hard to see without dismantling.

    Any pointers please appreciated.

    Could be any of the following...N75 wastegate solenoid, wiring or sensor, turbo pipe split, boost pressure sensor, etc. etc. What are your boost pressure readings desired versus actual...?

    I'm hoping Ive found the problem. 2 of my egr bolts were loose. I noticed at the back of my egr there was lots of oil and soot. If that's getting out, air must be getting in/out too.
