  • Strange problem. One for the techs

    2 days ago my 3lt 3rd gen developed a strange problem.

    When accelerating between 2000 and 2500 rpm i loose power. It feels like a blockage which lasts for a fraction of a second, then goes for a fraction of a second and returns an so on.

    Sometimes the little orange check engine light comes on but not every time, and goes away a few seconds after the revs have dropped out of that range.

    It does it at all speeds.

    When reving engine in neutral it does not happen. It happens in all gears that i tested so far. So only happens when engine under load.

    Could be fuelling or the TPS.
    You need to do a diagnostics test to find out if any codes are stored.

          Is that a case of taking it into a garage?

                I get it now. Did some reading. I didnt understand how to get the fault code to flash. Thought it was something it did automatically. And its absence of flashing meaning this fault isnt covered by the self diagnostic.

                I shall take a look tomorrow.

                  Just an update of problem solved. Only just got back on hear as been very busy.


                  Problem was a mucky batch of veg oil. A friend of mine using the same stuff in his Peugeot experienced power problems too. I topped up with diesel and she ran a bit better. Then changed filter and she went back to normal.
