first check theres plenty of oil in the egine then check for leaking /burst turbo hose.Then check if the turbo is producing boost by holding an outlet hose while someone rev,s the engine.Hopefully these pointers will help.

hi thanks for your answer,we took she took the car to a renault mechanic and he said that the engine coolant has to be changed because the engine is overheating and is causing this fault,do you think its the case?

Thankyou for your help
