Technical Help!!

[Gazax]

I'm in need of help. My 1.9 2007 16v multi jet has developed a strange problem. When setting of it seems to be starved of fuel (not long had a major service) and struggles to get going, but when I reach 2500 - 3000 revs it shoots of and is ok until I stop at a junction and the same happens again. Although intermittent, it does do it more often than not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

I'm guessing it's a diesel..
Personal experience says it's the EGR valve.. take the sucker out and give it a good clean.. your problem will then be solved. ;-)

Agreed. Had symptoms like that on the Multipla. If cleaning the EGR doesn't sort it, check the MAF.

Clean the EGR valve and MAF sensor and replace the fuel filter if it wasn't done for a while.
Check for turbo leak.

All sorted, it was a sticking solenoid. Relaxes the Valve and all sorted. Thanks you all for your help

I took the EGR of and it was full of black carbon. I cleaned it all with carb cleaner. I then took the black part of the egr which houses the plunger and solenoid. This was also covered in black carbon. Cleaned this checked the plunger had free movement , it did, so put it all together and took it for a spin. Still same problem, car struggling to get power until 2,500 revs. Heart sank, cleaned MAF, still same ?. Quick look on Google and followed this link : How-to Fix the EGR on a 1.9JTD.pdf Took it apart again and the small solenoid was stuck and not free moving. As the egr ion the bravo is common to vauxhall, called a local vauxhall breaker, he had one in stock, £20 and 1/2 later had the new one on and hey presto, problem solved. The link explains it perfectly
