Picasso 05 1.6HDi Turbo Problems - Turboquery
I have a Citroen Picasso that likes to go into 'get home safe mode' showing an engine fault message. The car only occassionally gets to drive over 35miles an hour but when it does - the engine fault appears. I am now told I probably need a new turbo ......which is going to be expensive.

How common is this problem on these engines?

I guess you need to drive the car more. Put a tank of Shell V Power or BP Ultimate in, drive until warm then drive fast, accelerate hard and give it some revs.
