The first thing I'd do is get it to a decent independant garage and get them to check the fault codes.This should give you more of an idea as to where the problem is.

There are many different things that can cause your problem,so it's best to try and eliminate some to make the diagnosis easier and more accurate.

Edit;If you bought it from a dealer,then get it back to them and get them to sort it.

sad story is i bought private the place i took it put it on a computor and was ep or eg somthing open or short circuit and also a turbo sensor fault that he said was fixed

Hi,

Firstly I would return to the workshop who carried out your initial service as they have not rectified the fault.

have a search through the FAQ for Lagunas click on the link I have posted below & you should find an answer to your fault there.

Be very careful you don't have pending turbo failure that is known on both the 1.9 and 2.2 dci. A dirty EGR can cause the turbo to fail and basically kill the entire engine.

I really hope the private seller hasn't stitched you up...

Read this forum for more info

what is my best action to take is it a job i can do to look at egr and clean it

 

[nthesx]

there was a post on here with pics about cleaning the egr valve.its an easy job to do with the worst bit being getting the f**ker out its location

 

[nthesx]

sorry cant find the post

 

[jaba]

anybody know wat lump it is i got all round turbo stripped any pics be great

 

[bpowell555]

Have you found it? Is on the right towards the back and base of engine, 4 bolts one is electric from what I can see...

Hello Jaba,

If your still trying to find the EGR valve,

follow the inlet pipe to the engine- from the intercooler not airbox.

behind the inlet( black plastic butterfly valve secured with three bolts) you will see a silver canister, with a connector on the end secured with three 10mm bolts.

that is the EGR valve, take off the connector and remove the three bolts, it will be very tight but with a little effort, twisting and pulling it should come out.


best of luck

Murchin

I Had The Same Problem Many Months Ago...driving Along Overtaking An "artic" .... Suddenly, Loss Of Power ( As Though The Turbo Wasn't Running )
Narrowed It Down To The Intercooler...
Once Replaced It Was No Problem...
Hope This Helps
