Hoping someone may have an idea what is ailing my 2.4jtd marea weekend. It has no grunt at all until about 2000 revs when the turbo kicks in and its off like a rocket until flattening out at about 3500revs.
I have replaced the MAF, I have cleaned the EGR (which wasn't particularly sooty), cleaned the MAP sensor, I have given the car a regular service and replaced all filters, but it still won't pull the skin off a rice pudding at low revs.
No unusual smoke or oil consumption. Sounds fine and idles as it should. Just went through an MOT without comment.
As an indication it won't even pull from 40mph in 5th gear, you have to drop a gear.
Fuel consumption is poor as you have to leave your foot planted in the shagpile.
The brakes are not binding. Only 80K on the clock. Can't think of anything else to tell.
Any ideas gratefully received as I can't get to the bottom of the problem and I have absolutely no faith in the local Fiat Stealership as their solution to any marea problem is "may as well scrap it mate".
Thanks in advance
