Can you engage gears? (I.e are you getting a bite point?)

It will rev up to about 2000 rpm .. I can get gears no problem but not enough power to pull away (if that makes sense)?

Cheers

Dave

There was a post about 8 months ago. Someone had the same issue and if I remember it ended up to be a MAF sensor.

We had the problem with my son's Hdi Partner van and after £350.00 of exploratory work they found it to be a blocked rear silencer. The silencer looked perfect. They even flushed out the catalytic convertor in case that was the issue.

Oh Dave, it was you who had the problem

http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=180735.0

So my post wasn't helpful. It could be the MAF sensor again. Some of these after market units are pretty poor quality.

Thanks Spruce!

This time it only revs to 2000 rpm, the last time it seemed to take a while getting there!  >:(

Some reason gone into limp home mode?

Possible egr valve?


As spruce said, still might be the MAF possible not seated correctly...?

Our vivaro is doing similar very sluggish to pull away, changed maf no real difference - so going to take it to garage for diagnositc check - let me know how you get on with yours - will let you know what ours says, sounds like a fuel issue we are hoping its not an injector...

Is engine management light on if so plug it in and you will know for sure, sound like the car is in limp mode map sensor would normally throw a light up as would eve valve, if there's no light and it feals like its being starved of fuel it could very well be a clogged fuel filter, if you haven't serviced it in a while you should do this anyways,

I've posted before about my Renault Traffic, had similar and other problems at the beginning of the year. Turned out it was a valve which goes in the end of the common fuel rail, it cost £100 for a Bosch one. Renault said all 4 injectors needed replacing at a cost of £1600, I'm glad I didn't listen to them as would have still had the problem and would have spent a fortune.

Davey Boy sounds like the wiring loom cost around £800 and takes forever as they have to order it from France !!!
