Hi Forum
I don't have a clue really but my 2012 Mk 7 Diesel has developed a problem, it basically is quite noisy and has issues pulling away in 1st and 2nd gears in that it has some loss of power. The best way to describe it is like a misfire similar to when a petrol engine has a dodgy plug or lead. I have to get the van up to higher revs before changing gear to get the speed up, at times it struggled to get over 3000rpm on idle when pressing the accelerator, if you press the accelerator hard enough you get the speed eventually in the low gears and once up to speed it runs well at 70 mph but not sure if its healthy.
The van has 200,000 motorway miles on it, no major issues before this, my mechanic reckons it could be an injector, he has done all the tests he can do and recommends testing the injectors or putting it into Ford, what do you people think?
Any suggestions appreciated
