lack of power

[GKandR4CH]

Made a little test this morning:

Experienced lack of power again since starting the car. Drove 50 km, turned off the engine at speed and restarted. BANG! The power was back.

Is that legal in Estonia? Or are you on drugs?

How f#@king dangerous.are you mad?
You turned your van off at speed,so you had no servo brakes
No powersteering,what wound you have done if the steering lock came on or it didn' t restart?

Ok, now I got it. The other poster was on about the same thing, saw the other one on the second page first.

I did it on a spare airfield, no worries.

If your turbo is spinning when you turned it off it wont do it any good at all.

I suppose turbo spins at acceleration and high rpm, not a steady roll ~1500 rpm

(before more misunderstandings: I put it in neutral and allowed to fall back to idle before restart)

It it's a diesel... Continuous boost thought the rev range matey..

Lots of short trips would then kill it quickly?

Okay, took it to the dealer and had the codes read. It reported something about MAP and a vacuum leak but the sensor itself is supposedly well. They weren't too specific about it. Anyway, they recommended changing the leaking turbo hoses, which I did. €76 a piece. We'll see tomorrow, if it helped.

No power loss today. Not even when first starting in the morning @-25°C. Guess it was the turbo hose leak.

you mean 76 euro for both?...........better buying silicone ones....lot cheaper

[mrtn]

No, €76 a piece. Ford costs premium to maintain here.
