Pug 207 loss of power
Discussion
The anti-pollution fault is just a generic fault, it's hard to determine what's wrong, from just that alone. You're best getting the codes read or getting a specialist to look at it (not necessarily a Peugeot dealer), as even knowing what the code is, can still leave you guessing.
I once had it on a 307 and after first getting the codes cleared and the ECU updated, it came back, further investigation revealed a tiny crack in the manifold. But the Lamba sensor was corroded solid into it and was impossible to remove without breaking it, so that had to be replaced too.

2008 1.6 HDI 110 93.000 miles.
No smoke and not lumpy when driven. I drive 50 mile journeys to work and back on the motorway. It went into limp mode on a left turn and made a rattle sound but that's gone. The car is fully dealer serviced and has just had one. I shall be calling the dealer to have it sorted...bang goes my new discs on the cerbera.

Ok, a bit flippant,but lambda sensor on a diesel someone's having a giraffe.
The rattle is the thing that made me think turbo, and the fact it is the most common cause of lack of power on this engine.I would be gladly proved wrong.
Take the air pipe off the turbo,stick your finger on the end of the turbo and see if it has play,it's that simple.
At the mileage it is on you are on borrowed time,believe me.
Replacing the turbo is a minefield of flushing,removing filters digging out the sump and rocker cover and trying to unblock oilways .We just refuse to do them now,the ford dealers near us will not guarantee one, so i go by my statement,93000 miles time for a new car.

Lack of power is because its in limp mode which I guess is peugeots and other manufactures way of getting you home. It had a five minute refuse to start when I stupidly turned it off to see if it would clear it. It starts no problem now but obviously still in limp mode. Im dropping it off tonight and tomorrow we shall see what happens.
93k of motoway driving should be nothing to a 1.6 diesel of such a modern engine.

the turbo has died a death.
Normally that kind of wear should manifest itself gradually over time. Was there no abnormal "whine" coming from the turbo? (I'm assuming that they mean that there's a lot of end float on the turbo shaft).
If the turbo is removed, or if the air pipe is removed from the turbo and you can move the shaft with your finger so that the turbo vanes contact the side of the pipe, then the turbo is worn, but as I said, you normally hear this kind of wear as a loud whine.
Having reread your first post - where you say you can drive for a time without problems, it still sounds like a fuel problem. Maybe even the tank not venting properly to let air in.
Can you trust the garage, or do you know someone who can double-check it for you? (The reason that I ask this is because one of my friends thought he was going to be faced with a bill for a new turbo a few weeks ago, when it was actually the MAF which was broken. Cost €57 to fix instead of a couple of thousand)

Garage says its snapped?
I asked how it could happen but garage says it could have been oil starvation? It's a main dealer and I know they charge more than an independent but I need it sorting.
No wine before it went just a rattle and then limp mode. I keep thinking was it the fuel but that could be pure coincidence.
No problems with the engine at all and the car is in mint order so its fingers crossed for another 93k.
