Exclamation FIXED: X5 E70 3.0D Slugging/Non-existing power - Drives like snail.

Hi everyone, so got hold of this car recently and so not know much about the history.

Starts, goes in all gears, drives ok. Just not enough power, even when pedal on floor. Also, feels like gear not shifting appropriately in D. If you take it slow, can go to any speed though.

Sounds like turbo boost issue but nothing on dash, nor any turbo related codes.

Glow plug activation codes on almost all of em, could be the controller but that shouldn’t be the culprit as had similar codes in my 320d which ran all well.

Any guesses? Can share log of codes next time I visit car.

And yes, turbo boost was 1.0 bar stationary and approx 2.0 if peddled in neutral.
