Hi,
wife's Renault Koleos, a common-rail turbo-diesel Powered SUV (4WD, CVT) got mad in my hands.
I spotted something strange about 2 weeks ago. I was driving, uphill, pedal-to-the-metal. Something between 3000-3500rpm there was loss of power (cut). Back to normal when I let rpms come back to more decent readings.
I thought "OK, I'll look into it when I got some spare time for that".
2 days ago, got on to the "highway", pedal to the floor to get in... Power cut... I didn't release the pedal quickly that time. It triggered the limp mode.
This morning I went to the dealer to read error codes and get out of limp mode, if possible, while waiting to fix it.

Things were going like this at the very moment that the freeze frame was shot:
Wrong boost pressure. Read 2bar, should've been 2.5bar
So, what do you think guys ?
-boost pressure sensor ?
-variable geometry stuck ?
Maybe the problem is here for quite some time, because we barely drive it above 3000rpms, so was unseen till now. It's a car that is driven start-and-stop (approx. 60 per day) half of the time, so maybe it's quite full of gunk in the intake runners, EGR, and so on. But no DPF problem for now.
I'm out of limp mode now.
