lack

Hi, I have a 2012 Laguna 1.5DCI with 138k miles and for the past two months or so the engine has sounded noisier than usual especially on tickover or at low revs. Sometimes when idling it is so bad the dash vibrates or the whole car can vibrate. It can sound like the exhaust is blowing slightly...

Hi all, my megane has always seemed a bit unwilling to lay any power. If I'm cruising (any gear, any rev) and I slightly push the accelerator and hold it I can feel like a misfire, push a bit harder it goes away, also at 2k revs if you push the accelerator it almost feels like you have dabbed...

I have recently bought a "14" plate Scenic diesel and have noticed a very significant lack of power below 1500 rpm. I am told by the dealer that this is "turbo lag" and is normal. I cannot find any reference to this on the 1,5 DCI , but is common on the 1.9 DCI engine due to a sticking EGR...

Evening, Recently replaced the "SHAFT accelerator DPC PSA" in the delphi injection pump on my clio. There isn't much inside the metallic box that is the pump, but there seems to be a problem. The car starts okay, ticks over fine, and pulls away perfectly in first gear and second gear is okay up...

Hi All, After failing to find the solution to my problem, I'm wondering if anybody can offer any advice. Recently bought a 2004 Trafic, ran fine until the other week. It doesn't get used often, but after I started it last week the glow plug light came on after a few seconds of the engine...

So I was taking my 2002 Clio 1.2 8v out for a run today, just got outside of a town going up a small hill when the car started to feel strange(Had to put the throttle in a good bit to stop it stalling out because the throttle was kinda going on/off), It also felt to lack power. I took no notice...

I have a 2007 plate Espace. The CD / Radio unit in the dash has very poor radio reception (driving me nuts) .. has anyone else come across a fix? Or is there a replacement head that will still work with the steering wheel controls? ta.

Hi - I have a 2005 Clio 1.6 - it's suddenly developed a problem and before I start stripping everything down I just want to check a few things. Idling is low - you put your foot now and low power - feels sluggish and no fuel getting to engine quick enough. Forums have told me the following but...

Hi folks. My father has a Renault Kangoo 1.5dci 70. It idles ok but there is a lack of power and lots of white smoke. I removed the EGR valve and cleaned it up. It had a lot of carbon on it. The turbo is drawing air in but doesn't seem to be pushing much out. I'm thinking it's a faulty turbo...

I've just bought a very cheap 55 plate scenic, the seller told me it needs a turbo. It drove home with no problem other than lots of black smoke and a lack of power... The smoke smells like the cars being very over fueled rather than burning oil. I've only had a very quick look at the car but...
