When driving my car is losing throttle on and off and stalls. I have recently changed EGR valve, mass airflow sender unit and changed air filter. All of those needed changing but was doing it before. I need help please.

It sounds like you have a turbo that is lost its boost. Can you remove either the inlet or outlet to check the turbine end play. Move the shaft up and down to check the play please.

Here is a guide to help.

Could have a vacuum leak as well.

Please let us know what happens and upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers, Ken

I've checked the turbo turbine and it's not loose I also made an error it's not hunting wen I release the throttle only when I acelerate. There isn't a way of recording because I've got to be driving but it can be constant when driving at 30 mph. Have you any other suggestions plz

Can you have someone else record it while you are driving it will cut down on a bunch of diagnostic time.

I tryed to film but it's not noticeable unless your actually driving. I've found a pipe under the turbo. I think it's the oil return pipe. And it's a bit soft and flimsy do you think that could be the problem? I'm ordering a new one anyway. But would like to now plz
