1.9cdti 150 Slow take off

[mark230678]

is this normal,
set off in 1st gear, and it seems to take a few seconds for the power to go in, runs ok after this with no loss of power.
Just a bit worrying when pulling out at junctions and roundabouts.

sounds like you need to clean out your EGR valve, and clean the boost sensor mate

If its an auto, yes I believe other members have noticed this, some even describing them as dangerous.

Unfortunately its a manual, i intend to do the egr this weekend.
Is the boost sensor part of the EGR, or is there another HOW2 section for this.

[Grimo72]

boost sensor is not part of EGR, it is a little black box to the left of egr valve

do a search for boost sensor for how too, but i think you will find your egr is full of kak

[mark230678]

i would imagine it is, 125k on the clock.
do you know if a egr off a saab will fit, one on ebay for £30.

[Grimo72]

i dunno that one mate, save yourself 30 quid have a go at cleaning it mate, it is easy
