Hi everyone. I'm hoping you would be kind enough to share some of your knowledge with me. I bought a 115 jtd multiwagon just over a week ago and i'm having a couple of issues with it.
1. It seems to lack serious amounts of power below 2500 rpm, above 2500 and it goes like stink, however if i hold it in a gear at say 3000rpm while pulling up a hill i get an "engine fault" message and the engine management light comes on. It then wont rev over 3000rpm. After several restarts the light goes out and it will rev higher again. The fault code generated is P0236.
2. The second problem i'm having is that sometimes (getting more frequent) when pulling away from a standstill it struggles to rev up at all, there is no knowing when its going to do it and to be honest its quite dangerous when pulling out of road junctions etc. After crawling along the problem suddenly clears and off i go leaving a big cloud of black smoke behind me.
I've had it back to the supplying dealer, he has cleaned and moved the pressure boost sensor, both problems still persist. I asked him if it could be a MAF sensor fault because when i un plug it problem 2 is cured, but not problem 1. Apparantly they fitted a new one from euro car parts before i bought the car. Not sure if its relevant but when i unplug the MAF i dont get an engine management light?
Has anyone had a similar experience who could offer me some advice, could there be something else thats maybe causing me these problems (EGR or MAP?) Any advice greatly appreciated
