Can anyone shed any light on what may be causing low power (acceleration) on my fiat ducato 130 multijet (2013)
I have had a number of basic things changed including
Oil and filter change
Fuel filter change
Air filter change
Water pump and timing belt done recently (needed doing)
I must also add that after taking it to another garage with no further result I was told it looks like the dpf has previously been gutted and egr capped with is really not sitting well with me !
Could this be a possible cause of the below issues ?
Symptoms
Very fuely smoke on start up clears when engine warms
Occasionally when starting up it spluuters and bogs out i have to push the accelerator down to get revs up
Often rough idling on start up after a journey
Although if left overnight starts up great with no rough idling
Poor fuel economy
Lack of power when accelerating
Sometimes when revs pass 2k power seems to kick in a little but not all the time
I've noticed that if I take it for a run at 3krevs for a few miles engine power seems to be restored somewhat
it is not in limpmode as revs are never restricted and never get any EML
I have no engine management lights on the dash and when plugged in no pending codes
I am still suffering from above issues so have just bought a multiecuscan to recored live data and also see if there are any hidden codes ect it may pull up
Also when the multiscan arrives this Saturday what shall I look at in reference to tests and also live data.
