Engine Light Came On Then Power?

[napple]

Hi

Firstly sorry I am a female and know little about cars infact this is my hubby car our family car and we had a little bit of a hair encounter last night so i'm hoping for some advise.

It an 4-5 year old Avensis Verso D4D GLS 2 litre diesel turbo and has always worked perfectly fine when last night doing about 60 mph the Engine warniing light came on and it seemed to suddenly lose power. My husband noticed he said immediatley that it was like it got to that point in the revs when the Turbo kicks in and it just didn't then dramatatically lost power even tho the engine was still running the car barely moved.

We managed to pull off and get onto a side road his foot was flat on the accelerator and it was barely tricking forward i thought i was going to have to get out and push :0(

Anyway after about a 10 mins of having the car turned off he turned it back on and the light was off we managed to get the car home but kept the speed low at 40-50 without over reving it.

He had to switch for work now to my Yaris but is going away on business tomorrow so is freaking out abit.

Does anyone have any idea what this might be and if its going to be costly??

Thanks

Poss EGR valve fault, fuel pump sensors, turbo.

Best to take it to a dealership/specialist and get them to take a look.

Hi Napple, my wife’s Avensis verso/family car is currently giving similar problems to what you and your husband experienced in February 2008 with your Avensis verso, malfunction light on and a serious loss of power. I would be grateful if you could offer me any advice as to the root of the problem? The cost of replacement part/s plus the labor cost?

Thanks in anticipation
