2006 407 2.0L Turbo Diesel. Auto. 110,000kms.
Every 500-800km the car will be driving along and revs will drop suddenly and lose all power. As if you've lifted your foot off the throttle.
When you pull over it will idle very rough and blow a heap of black smoke.
If you keep driving and knock it back a couple gears and force it to rev (when this happens so regularly you eventually lose all patience and just floor it) it will surge and carry on for a few km's and then be back to normal... for another 500 odd km's.
It's like clockwork, always between 500-800km's. Could be hot or cold. Highway or slower speeds. Fuel tank full or low.
Surely other Pug owners have experienced the same thing?? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Anything that commonly fails that will cause such issues?
I've found other similar threads but nothing the same with a solution. Thanks
