Loss of power while drving over 30MPH

2006 Peugeot 307 1.6 Turbo Diesal
Car: Peugeot 307
Year: 2006
Variant: 1.6 Turbo Diesal
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
whilst driving back on the motorway my car was slowing down. RAC came out and told me it was my EGR valve. Had my local mechanic take a look and he has told me that I need a new Turbo. This is not a cheap part!!!

Anybody got any other ideas? The acr drives ok upto 30MPH but is very slow on the accelarator and will definately not do anymore then 40 MPH. I don't want to be driving it around if it will cause more damage!

Peugeot turbos are controled by vaccum solenoids operated by the cars ecu,so if you have a fault with the v accum pump,or any of the solenoids then no turbo!
Pay Peugeot for the hours diagnostic,get a full code print out then you can take it wherever you want for repair.
