Saab 9-3 loss of power

Car: Saab 9-3
Variant: 1.9TiD Turbo Diesel Vector Sport (160bhp)

For the last few days, about 10 minutes into my journey, I loose power, and am unable to accelerate. I can hear a hiss unless I take my foot off the pedal, when it stops. After 10 minutes more the power returns. any ideas?
