Why is my Volvo S40 lacking power?
Can any one tell me what the reasons are for a Low Engine Performance warning when I go to start my Volvo S40 1.6D?

Hi Kevin,
That could be caused by a few different things, but the most likely for that 1.6-litre diesel engine are either a clogged diesel particulate filter (DPF) or the failure of the turbocharger. Either way you need to get the car to a good mechanic as soon as you can to have it repaired.
