Hyundai iLoad 2010: Turbo issue

A few weeks ago I noticed a significant loss in power in my 2010 turbo-diesel Hyundai iLoad. There are no other engine issues I can see, but I have a strong feeling the turbo is no longer functioning. I am constantly changing down gears on slight hills, whereas previously, there was no issue. The dealer says there is no problem with it I googled the net and discovered a number of other owners saying similar things about the turbo issue, but Hyundai says there is no known issue with the turbo. They promised to investigate and would get back to me within 24 hours, but I haven't heard back yet. I am concerned, because I am in my final year of warranty, and want the problem rectified before the expiration date. Are you aware of any such issue? And if you are, can you suggest a possible cause / remedy?

You shouldn't be too concerned about the warranty expiring as the company has an on-going responsibility to fix it beyond the end of the warranty. The loss of performance without the turbo should be huge and easily observed by the dealer, so I would approach the dealer again and ask that someone go with you so you can demonstrate what it is you're concerned about. I would also pick up the phone and call Hyundai to remind them that they haven't honoured their commitment to get back to you. We haven't had any other reports of turbo problems with the iLoad but we are aware of other reports. Have your dealer check that oil is getting to the turbocharger and also check the operation of the wastegate.
