i recently bought a 2002 volvo v40 1.9 diesel (6 months ago) it was at the time just in need of a new egr valve this was replaced within a matter of a couple of weeks still no problems 2 weeks ago i went on a 100 mile trip. On my journey i had a slight minute of no power lasted for all of a few seconds and then fine no problem. 1 week later normal driving (kids to school and back) but no i have no power like my turbo isnt working but i repaired the turbo about a week after purchasing the car as it was leaking oil but this never affected it running i have replaced the boost control solonoid and all the pipes and other bits like that but still no power a friend told me about the diesel particulate filter so i replaced that i have also just replaced the fuel pressure regulator (the one on the pump) and it has also just had a complete service + diagnostic check (didnt pick anything up as per) i am just wondering has any body encountered this before or could anybody shed any light on what my problem could be thanks

Sounds like youre turbo has givin up the ghost,common causes are not allowing it to cool down after a run out,alot of people just switch off the engine,you have to idle for a few mins before turning off,you could strip it down and replace all the components,or hunt around for a seconhand hand one,the Renault Laguna 1.9 d,has exactly he same engine as a Volvo s40/v40,there are a lot more renaults in breakers yard and the Renault kangoo van has the same engine.
