The car is a 55plate 1.9cdti 150 AUTO
The problem is the revs drop and it trys to stall as soon as you engage drive or pull up in drive with foot on the brake. Although it starts and revs and ticks over perfectly it seems to not have enough power between about 800 and 1500 revs so as soon as you put it in drive it drops to about 400 and stalls. If you're quick you can pull away as soon as you put it in gear and once you're going it drives fine just slightly less power really low down (although it wont pull away uphill at all!). BTW no fault lights have come up since this started on saturday.
Ive been reading all the threads on here and checked everything i can think of:
*Replaced 3rd injector wiring with VX field remedy kit.
*Removed EGR and cleaned (although surprisingly it was already pretty clean and everything moved as it should)
*Removed throttle body, cleaned everywhere and re-soldered contacts just to be sure.
*Removed and cleaned boost sensor (very mucky).
*Checked swirl bar - still attached on all 4 and moves freely when revved.
*Replaced fuel filter.
*Replaced air filter.
*Checked 2 vacuum pipes on front for air leaks.
*Checked turbo pipes and intercooler for air leaks.
*Listened everywhere for funny noises like air escaping from a split pipe etc.
*Disconnected electrical plug from EGR and spanner light came on so plugged back in and light went out.
*Made up an aluminium blanking plate for inlet side of EGR and fitted, ran for 2 mins b4 spanner light came on.
And that's where i'm at now. Nothing has made the slightest difference. Have I forgotten anything?![]()
