Peugeot 306 Engine Management Light - tommiep
On my T plate Peugeot 306 HDI I have an intermittent problem with the engine management light appearing and the engine limiting itself to c2500rpm (turbo apparantly not working). The light will stay lit for approximately a day, but the lack of power can be cured by switching the engine off and back on again. There appears to be no pattern in why the light appears, but I have noticed that after half an hour or so in heavy traffic the engine will run on after switching off for a few seconds, following by the engine management light coming on the next time the car is used.

Any ideas on why this is and how to resolve it? Local garage cannot see any apparant problems.
