Loss Of Power

[gals]

Hi, I own a 1.9tdi auto on a 52 plate for the last 2 years. Right know I am experiencing a loss of power while driving. and at pull off. I have had the MAF changed and the problem is still there. Strangely when I take it to the petrol station and put fuel in the tank I will be able to drive it with no problems for a little while, befor the problems start again. Took it to fords they could not find what the problem is. Some one suggested the auto box but I am not convinced as I have no trouble getting gears. PLEASE HELP.

are you getting a vacuum in your fuel tank? If so you will hear a sucking noise when you release your cap.

Hi, tried that it seems ok. Any other ideas?

Could be that the auto transmission fluid needs to be changed. This wouldn't affect gear changes but could cause loss of traction in the torque converter.

Thanks, I will look into that. But is that not done as standard on a full service? :lol:

Hello,

 

I have an 06 plate TDi Auto, this intermittently experiences a loss of power whilst driving. If you stop the vehicle, wait several seconds and restart the problem has gone.

 

Seemed to happen when I first had the car, this time last year, then seemed to go away. Now it has done it several times recently. Possibly related to the colder weather?

 

No engine lights come on to indicate a problem, the car is still under FordDirect warranty, they have 'checked' it twice but can find no fault, as it only manifests itself intermittently I can understand why this might be difficult.

 

To the original poster, is your problem always there or intermittent?

 

Regards,

 

Richard

This is exactly what happened on our 55 Plate 1.9Tdi.

 

The dealer ran a diagnostic which showed of all things a faulty multiplug in the front passenger door. Once they changed that the problem went away.

 

I was absolutely amazed.
