Glaxay55 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Have a similar problem with my Galaxy 1.9 TD (115) 55 Reg - albeit it's not permanent. Only happens in the very cold. From starting it would top out at 2800 revs (usually got to this by third gear) and as you say, not go above and vehicle seemed to lack power. If I turned off the ignition, it reset and didn't seem to happen once the engine was warm. The engine fault code was 17965 which was "turbo pressure control unit limit exceeded" P1557. I was told the likely cause was a faulty pressure control unit but as this was attached to the turbo unit, it meant a new turbo unit (Quoted £1295 + Labour!!!). Interestingly, after the service and a new air intake filter, the problem went away till almost a year later and the next really cold spell (we're talking < -5 degrees C) and coincidently the service is now due again. I doubt the air intake filter had anything to do with the problem, but it certainly moved the point where this error occurred. In any case, when the engine is limited to 2800 revs, it's running in fail safe mode. I'm still living with my problem as for 99% of the year it's not a problem....
