Hi all,
I m new on here. I m from Ireland and have a 2016 (May) Leon 1.6 TDI
Here's my story...
The car was bought new replacing a dCi Mégane and performed well on my daily commute,60 km each way a mix of country roads and motorway.

In May this year I noticed the engine was occasionally hesitating at around 1800 rpm. I called into the dealer asking about this hesitating and they said if there was no warning lights on to keep driving.

A week later the car lost power and engine light came on.
I rang the garage and they said don't drive it any further and they took the car away on a lorry.

The car had done 59 thousand km.
Dealer diagnosed stuck turbo vanes and fitted a complete new turbo under warranty.

The car was ok until this week when the hesitating at 1800 rpm returned at 78 thousand km. The car feels the same as just before it failed the last time.
I ve booked it back into the dealer for next week the earliest available slot but they said if it gets worse in the meantime or any warning lights come on to contact them immediately.

Anyway that's the long story, my question is has anyone else had the same issue ?
