mk7 power loss

Postby dredge3 » Mon Jun 08, 2015 3:37 pm

Hi. I have a 2011 mk7 2.2 fwd t300 transit. Last year under warranty, I had loads done. Injectors, valve at end of rail. This was for pulsing tickover. Stopped pulsing, yet less MPG? At the time of all the work going off (8 months)at one point I had a power loss going up hills. This stopped.
2 days ago it was windy and It felt like power loss, 30 seconds later, again power loss. I was thinking could be the wind.
Today, SAME PLACE! power loss. Its a 60mph straight, left bend, small incline. Don't know if its anything to do with it, but odd its in the same place

Today. same place, same thing. Very odd as its only on that road. Drove 30 miles without a problem. Tank is 3/4 full, so not a problem on that side

Not sure. I think |Ford changed it when they had the same problem along with other problems. That's about 6 months ago. The gauge says its fine. If they work.
So odd that it does it every time I go on this rd and no other. Sorry, did it on a very steep hill.It always under hard acceleration..I think.
il have to service it. See if it does anything

Changed all filters. Still doing it.
Even slight misfire at tickover tonight..with aircon on.
This van has to last 5 years. Nearly 2 and its screwed

Had something similar on my 59 plate MK7 140 ltd.
Turned out the turbo actuator arm was loose as there was no circlip holding it in place as there should be.
It only lost power when towing up a certain hill, found the problem when the actuator arm actually came off one day.
Arm now been held in place by a cable tie for last 2 yrs, problem solved.

May not be that but worth a look to see if the circlip is holding the actuator arm in place OK.
