Where is my Citroen C5's turbo solenoid?

My Citroen C5 HDI has a loss of power. I have had it checked and been told it is showing up as a turbo solenoid fault. Where is the turbo solenoid and what, if any, are the likely rectifications?

You might want to check all the pipework related to the turbo before renewing the solenoid. Quite often it is because there are air leaks (sometimes small pin holes) in the pipework. We do not have specific details of each and every car, and so cannot say exactly where your solenoid is fitted.
