hi all
coming home today in my 2003 td4. its done 85000
On the motorway for a split second the car started to hold back at about 70 mph. then returned to normal. this happened a couple of times.
then when i came off the motorway and had to acelerate it had little power and wouldnt rev beyond 2000. then it accelerated as normal. in spurts and would then return to the below 2000 rpm scene. like a petrol car with damp ht leads.
i pulled over and called the breakdown company.
whilst waiting for the recovery guy the car started up ok , didnt stall and tickover is normal.
it seemed to be reving freely and definetly over the 2000 rpm mark up top its redline with no smoke from the rear of the car.
the guy dropped the car off and now the car is driving ok, but with a little flat spot when acelerating.
could it be dirt in the fuel. if so then will redex do any good.
if it was dirty fuel would it still rev when not under load.
what sensors could be faulty
i have checked the air intake hoses and they all look fine.
any ideas
