2006 V70 T5 Reduced Engine Power.

Been up to Northumberland for the weekend and done just shy of 700 miles, 29.2 average MPG.....6 speed manual.
However, 50 miles or so in to the journey and whilst accelerating, the car suddenly pulled back and the message came up.
I can hear turbo noise but also what sounds like an air/boost leak.
Can't see anything amiss from the top of the engine, so I'm going to take a look at the lower intercooler pipe. Idle is erratic and sometimes stalls. Still got some power but deffo reduced.
Will post how I go on......

Sounds like a split hose or charge pipe hose popped off. Your guess is pretty good.

Thanks for the reply.

I had a year 2000 C70 T5 which had a very similar issue. The clamp on the lower intercooler hose was past it, so sorting that fixed the issue.

Intercooler hose to OTE pipe. Slight split:D
