May 06 TDV6 "S" manual - Been having a few odd problems with power and having read number of posts - not sure if it is the ERG valve - or perhaps a turbo problem.
Over last few weeks and yes the weather has been cold but I recall this happening once before the cold spell .
When I have started and driving it feels gutless until the turbo kicks in which is about 2500rpm. after that its fine - try putting foot down below that and nothing happens. ( turbo normally seems to kick in about 15-1700rpm )
tried stopping / restarting and didn't make any difference - then after driving slowly home - it at times kicks back to normal .
I have been using TR over the last few weeks but have always switched off before stopping -
As I said once turbo kicks in all is fine and it is not doing this all the time -
Any thoughts on what this is - - I want to have some facts before I phone the Dealers to get this looked at.
I am having an issue with the dealer over a knackered wheel ( seperate issue) so want to be clear on facts - No warning lights are on so will there be fault codes showing .
Does this sound like ERG issue or Turbo issue - Given it is not happening all the time should I keep driving it meantime or call LRA

Could be sticking turbo vanes. There was a software update to exercise the vanes to stop this happening but sound like yours may have failed.  “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
