Flat spot on CDTI 150-how many suffer from this-*POLL*

[Vaux-Man-G]

Im intrigued as to how many people suffer a flat spot on the CDTI 150, mine is between 1-2k rpm.

So, please vote away and also please state anything you have done to successfully resolve this!

Thanks.

Mine suffers from this before the turbo spools up. I cleaned the egr which seemed to help but it is getting worse again after a couple of months so I might try replacing the egr.

Mine doesn't, but with a new EGR, Inlet Manifold and EGR, it shouldn't do either !!!

How do I know if the wiring on the 3rd injector is ??

Is there a visual inspection!??!

no i dont think so,

if you do a search on here, you will find out if you have the old wiring (the yellow clips)

my car felt like it was misfiring at times, and suffrered from a flat spot just before the turbo kicked in, however if i booted it, no problem

still under warranty, they test drove it then replaced it all,

As above, but not touched EGR - 2008 model so hoping it has all the updates

mine still does sometimes - not as bad since i had new egr, im trying to arrange a friend to strip down and clean the manifold so hopefully that will help

has anyone noticed if the problem isnt as bad depending on the weather - i notices on rainy damp days mine runs a dream, i was told that the air is more moist and changes the airflow

sorry but I don't know what a flat spot is. Think I may have this, can someone explain? thanks
