Hi, my mates diesel 1.6 turbo car runs and ticks over sweet but once you hit 3,000 rpm's it cuts out. So re start and it is okay again even on motorway it runs great. Please help.

Hello,

Can I ask if there are any check engine or other warning lights on? Does this car have a DPF on it?

Cheers, Ken
