Intermittent loss of power on a CDTI

Stainless5 · 1st August 2015, 10:59

Hi all I keep losing power every so often on my CDTI does anyone have any idea why this may be happening?

You'll have to be more specific - when driving along, does power drop out - or is it poor when trying to pull out of junctions etc?

Hi DMGRS the power drops off as I am driving. I can be going a long at 70 mph and it will just die on me then it will return after a few seconds.

do the dash electrics drop out and or the power steering etc, or is it just a loss of torque?

Just the torque

I had a similar problem, but mine would cut out. Liked to do it while accelerating from sliproad onto motorway. Turned out to be a badly leaking injector.

I have the same problem with mine. As suggested I changed the Maff with s brand new Bosch one but I still have the problem.
