I'm not sure about the 1.6 but I think they have a turbo actuator control solenoid, the one on my 1.8 TDCI went and it made the car come on and off boost and generally lack the proper get up and go.

When I swapped it the difference was instant and transformed the performance of the car !

No, no codes when I did mine, I just swapped it over which takes 10 minutes from start to finish and the difference was instant !
