    Check all your filters.sounds like air filter blocked.or could be dirty
    injectors.

    As Haynes says.Excessive fuel consumption.----
    Air filter element dirty or clogged.
    Preheating system fault.
    Incorrectly adjusted idle speed.
    Incorrect fuel injection pump timing.
    Brakes binding.
    Tyres under-inflated.
    hope some of this helps, if not give your main dealer a ring.

    Have you just bought the car and think it's underpowered or was it more
    powerful before?

    Hi,
    No influence on fuel consumption, just makes startup more difficult, if not
    impossible. Once started, no effect.
    I'd add one : cracked intercooler pipe ?

  6. Check the vacuum pipes are sound as if these are leaking the turbo will not
    cut in
