This message came up, There is power loss like the turbo is not working, hardly goes up a hill and the coolant reservoir is dropping level. Any body else have this code come up.

usually that's triggered by a dirty MAP sensor. Do you have a tune or are you running stock ecu? If stock, you're MAP sensor is probably caked in soot causing a code.

Another possibility - do you ever hit the brake and gas at the same time, that'll trigger the message instantly, but by the sounds of it, it's your MAP sensor. Pull it off, clean it out and see if the code returns. Check youtube for a vid on how to do this, pretty easy.


save yourself a trip to the dealer and probably $500! If that's not it, maybe someone else can chime in with some things to watch for...

darryl, pull your diffuser tube out, if you see wet tar, sticky black goo on the tip, that is a clear indication that your egr cooler is leaking and it is pissing coolant into your intakes which is bad for the cylinders, oil, and bearings! That would also explain why your map sensor is setting off throttle intake codes if it's covered / plugged up with black tar goo. they're all inter-related as carlhenry said.
