I've lost all boost on my 1.9 TDI, I'm not sure if it's the same as limp mode people mention. It still drives (ie. It can do motorway speeds) but it's incredibly slow.

I have engine management light on and a flashing glow plug light (atleast that's what I think it is)

I've also plugged in a cheap code reader and its giving these fault codes.

I don't know what to do, one garage hinted at replacing turbo, however I can still hear the turbo hissing when you accelerate.

Another garage has said it might be DPF blocked.

Any ideas/advice?

These faults definitely don't have anything with your turbo.
And I would think they are linked together, I mean first one shows bad received signal from one of the DPF sensors
P0473 Exhaust Pressure Sensor High Input
and because of that system probably thinks about bad filter efficiency, puts car in limp mode + generates 2nd dtc.

Problem could be broken sensor, wiring problem or even ECU!
First cure P0473 code then watch if P2002 reappears :)
 
So replace the exhaust pressure sensor? Eurocarparts don't sell them, so how would I go about getting a rough idea of price for one?
