Hesitating/sluggish connect

[trixyben]

My 54 plate tddi connect is fairly sluggish, it just seem as if when you put your foot down for it to go theres something holding back the power

My mate has the exact same van, its a year older, 20k more miles and when we went side by side he gradually gets away and leaves me for dust!

Ive changed the air box on mine, complete service done, tyres are inflated right, changed the air flow meter and still no difference, my mates van has no mods at all btw

I unplugged the egr and i dont really know if it made much of a difference tbh, next i was going to look and see maybe the map sensor if i can find it lol

I have a mk1 focus with same engine as van for donor parts to try

Anyone any suggestions?

Anyone any ideas?

Was hoping paul2012 would maybe have a bit of an educated guess for me

had the fault codes read?......could be anything from faulty pump/injectors,seized turbo actuator rod,blocked cat or a dirty IAT sensor

have a read....might help search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keywords=slow+van&fid%5B%5D=54

Dont have any codes at all, if it was the pump or injectors wouldnt they throw up a code?

Can i check turbo actuator im not familair with it

Ive read on vans you can gut out the cat as its not tested is this right? I can gut it therefore should add couple more hp at least

The IAT sensor im also unfamiliar with

Thanks for your feedback

Have searched and search havent came across exactly whats wrong with mine yet will keep on it as van it annoyingly slow

Mine was doing something similar and I found one of the hoses to intercooler split

Does it feel like theres lack of power until you get through the gears then suddenly pick up? Check the egr Blanking it sometimes helps and even do a egr delete. If this doesnt work you may need to repair/replace it.

No im not getting any power surges at all tbh, it just seems gutless and the fuel consumption isnt great either im getting close to 400miles per tank

My mates van which is exactly the same has a noticable amount of more power and hes getting close to 600 miles per tank

Ive checked all the pipes and theres no splits, i tried to put in a egr blanking plate but the bolts are never for moving, i sprayed cleaner into the egr to try clean it abit, put in a redex fuel injector cleaner and all this makes no bit of difference

400 mls .............600mls ..........i'm lucky getting 330/350........sometimes less

are you down on power or how long you getting that milage?

there is defo sometime up with mine as my mates van is way more responsive and far more milage theres something not right

Have you changed fuel filter? Try doing an injector leak off test to make sure all are working correctly, have you checked the turbo for movement on the shaft?. N

[g-man]

probably cause my bus is up on power ...........and stop/start.....ladders and carrying weight
