    Default 150 probs

    Im getting a slight loss of power when in third gear sometimes 2nd, only at low revs.

    the engine seems to hesitate for a second, and then the power builds up ( almost like you have chosen the wrong gear sort of feeling) ?

    i had the inlet manifold done about 3 months ago, and i have only 42000 on a 56

    any ideas

    EGR??

    Also check around the vac pipes, although any splits would usually throw a warning light on.

    The boost sensor just unscrews from the inlet. Clean it in carb cleaner.

    No harm in using 10k boost, although I chucked a whole can of carb cleaner through my missus' CDTi 150 the other day with fantastic results, as seen here with a few other bits... http://www.vectra-c.com/forum/showthread.php?t=142503

    EGR valve or vacuum hose splits. If the car has only had the manifold replaced 3 months ago, and judging by the age and mileage you state you don't do alot of miles, a 10K decoke wouldn't me much benefit tbh.

    EGR valve is probably the culprit anyway.
