check msf sensor, clean if necessary.
add diesel additive fuel system cleaner.
drive on mway in 4th gear at 70mph for 20 minutes to clean out system (injectors, turbos, egrs)
Any improvement ?
Can all be sorted by the dealer under warranty !

I don't know if there is a max speed but the carlokes to be in a lower gear than normal guess that's about maintaining progress on sand good fun for squirt though
