Hi all, not been on here for ages eventually managed to get logged back in and here we are.
I /we have a problem with the wife's Scudo, basically it won't pull up a hill as easily as it used to ie change down put your foot down long pause Turbo kicks in and away you go.
The van is a 2006 2.0 8v JTD.

Have now got a bluetooth OBD reader brill tool and it came up with two fault codes:-
1 Throttle position sensor (TPS) only reading 80%
2 Mass Air Flow Meter (MAF).
Fault 1 checked out and foot flat down only 80%.
So fitted a new one, now 0-100% ✅
Reset the MAF meter.
Now still similar but not as long ?.
So with assistance did a live check, so say 70 on the motorway in 5th TPS at say 40% and Turbo boost 10psi (old money) ease foot down to overtake boost still 10psi, boost then drops to about 4 and eventually kicks in right up to 12-14ish. If you change down the boost drops imeadiatly then kicks in.
Anybody had similar problems which you were able rectified if so I would be pleased to know.
The Scudo is a great van we've been all over the country with he wife helping her in her hobby of competing in working trials with the dogs.
Now ? coming out of Lock down she can get back trialing again if we can rectify the problem.
 
Just thought I'd let you know the problem has been cured it was the MAF sensor, yet the MAF sensor according to the live records it didn't move till the "turbo kicked in" then shot up from say 400 to 900+. anyrate its fixed, the misses is now quite happy ?.
