I have a Renault Megane 1.9 dci, with the exact same problem. No power at all below 2500 rpm. However, in second gear it seems to be gaining power at around 2000, from third gear onward I can feel the torque from around 1500. Also, when I'm trying to shift, the car jerks for a second or so before taking off. It's like it's not letting the gas pedal send the message to the ECU. What's weird is, the car is equipped with a particulate filter; regenerated it once and the car ran excellent for around 150 kilometers, no jerking, nice, smooth acceleration, then it came back to the normal state. I've now removed the particulate filter and again, the car ran nice for around the same amount of kilometers, but this time the jerking at shifting didn't disappear. It's really strange though, a particulate filter problem should put the engine in limp mode and not let it accelerate higher than 2000 rpm or so. Many people I've asked pointed to the EGR valve, which has already been cleaned twice. The valve is equipped with a position actuator which tells the ECU whether the valve is opened or closed. So blocking the valve off may not be effective if the actuator is broken and sends the wrong information to the ECU?
