Evening all,

I have 1.5 dci 11 plate qashqai.

The car loses power in third gear and onwards. If you put your foot right down it lags but if you gradually go faster it's okay unless it's up a hill. If the car does this too much the engine management lights comes on and also anti skid lights.

Tried a cleaner for the EGR with no joy.

Any idea??

Could be a boost leak? Does it sound like your turbo is having to work harder?
Are you 100% sure there is no loss in power in 1st and 2nd?
Any excessive black smoke out of the exhaust?

It seems to have gotten worse and does happen in 2nd now.
I had the turbo pipe replaced a few month before the ECU update as it did snap.
No black smoke.

The car goes into Nissan tomorrow after months of battling and there are covering the cost of the diagnostic

I've similar issues - what was your outcome please?

I had an engine warning light, plus the anti-skid light ... turned out I dad a blown turbo air hose, garage replaced and reset and I have no engine warning lights .. but I don't think my Turbo is kicking in at all now.

see my other post for the resolution ... which was free!!! after the Air Intake PBT-GF20 broke ( see pic in other post from another owner - its right there in your face on top of the engine and quite common by the sound of it) .... it was replaced and the trouble codes cleared... the car basically just needed a few drive cycles (3-5 typically) to let the Engine Management System work out the problem again, get the DPF filter error then to trigger a DPF regeneration on a longer drive in 3rd or 5th at 2500 RPM ... needed this cycle twice.

Safe driving guys.
