Newbie - Hi guys, help required with my 2004 2.0 tdi

**vectrom** · 28th March 2011, 21:07

Hi guys, looks like I may have the same problem as a lot of vectra owners have, my problem is when the car get properly warmed up I get power loss after 2500 rpm and she won't rev over 3000rpm weather in gear or not. I have had the codes and it told me there is a problem with mass air flow sensor which I have changed but same problem now I have removed the egr but couldn't really clean it properly as I cant see any 2.0 tdi how2's for it. So if any one can show me link that would be great and any advise would be appreciated,
p.s when I turn engine off and back on she is fine again until I drive 2-3 mile then back to power loss

Thanks for any help.
Peter.

Heres the "How Too"

As for the Power loss,check the small thin pipes with the rubber ends very carefully,in particular the one that goes into the actuator just above the radiator,these develop small splits which lead to the car going into limp home mode and restricts revs to 3000 rpm..good luck.

Thanks for the link, I wil strip it down on Wednesday and hope this will do the job, I've checked the pipes but can't see any splits, is there any tips on checking these pipe apart from visually? also is it worth cleaning boost sensor and where is it on my 2.0 tdi?
Thanks.
