Hi there

Ive had my doblo for 8 years now and is just about to hit 80,000 miles but lately it seems to have lost power. It is really bad going up any sort of hill. There are no warning lights coming on dashboard.

I find if i give it blast up to 5000rpm black smoke comes out exhaust(made a bit of a mess on my drive!!!) and it seems to go slightly better. My local garage said they think its the air flow meter but its about £125 and its not certain to fix it.

Any ideas?

I've seen this a couple of times on different vehicles and it has simply been down to a hole in a hose somewhere.
Bit of a long shot I know but it'll cost you nothing to check and pennies to fix. If it's not a holed hose at least you've lost nothing.
 
this happened to my van and to the school run Multipla, both were sorted by changing the MAF, I bought mine from Ebay for about £35
 
Thanks,

Ive been told it could be EGR valve. Its booked in next week to get cleaned out. Ive also heard this problem can be confused as the MAF.
