Posts: 9 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Lack of power Hi all. Hope one of you may have an in-expensive solution for my problem! Bought a 01 Multi 1.9JTD in March of this year. Love the looks and the way it drives and having 4 young boys is good for space. But have noticed recently that the revs do not rise above 3000 when accelerating in 2nd or 3rd gears. My foot is down to the floor and there is no guts at all! I drive a Vaux Combi 1.7 CDTI during the day and it flies compared to the Multi. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

![]() | Re: Lack of power Obviously with a full load the vehicle is not going to be as responsive as it would if there was just yourself in. Also i imagine the multipla weighs a bit more than the combi van seen as it was based on a corsa. Yours being on 01 reg i dont expect the engine to be run in maybe as much as the combi, which i would have a guess and say its done more miles. Maybe once the multipla engine has been worn in, maybe you will see better response. Also has the vehicle had a service or is due one?? A service may help if required Hope this helps

It could be that the multipla has dodgy 3rd/4th gear ratios, i.e. geared more for economy than accelleration, are you noticing any other simptoms, what does it feel like in other gears? It could be exhaust related, manifold damage, or exhaust particulate filter (diesel cat) blocked. Although all of these would be noticable right though the gear range. |

![]() | Re: Lack of power Quite a common problem on these I am afraid, The maff sensor is quite often to blame. Have a look here : https://www.fiatforum.com/multipla/17199-multipla-keeps-losing-power.html

If you buy one from us and it doesnt cure it, send it back, we will refund you! info@angeltuning.co.uk or call us on 087 091 091 16 for prices etc.
