Hi to everyone. Happy to announce that I've just joined and would any ideas as to why my 2014 Nissan Qashqai 1.6dci is so sluggish on standing acceleration. Once it picks-up it seems to be ok but generally tired. I suspect a turbo issue. I would appreciate any info related to this

Sounds like turbo boost isn't there - are there any strange sounds like whistling or a deeper sound (sounds like a burp) as this can signify that either the turbo or intercooler is leaking and creates a whistling sound and if its deeper then one of the rubber turbo hoses is split.

I would demonstrate both sounds but luckily I can't record sound on here 😁

Thanks for that Trevor. Needless to say, appart from the classic high pitch turbo sound, I hav'nt really paid much attention to anything else. I'll listen tomorrow and get back to you.

If it is screaming high pitch noise then it is more than likely got a small leak somewhere but in general you will hear a nice constant low whistling tone while the turbo spools up
