Hi I'm new here so hi to all. Just got a 2003 zt cdti 114 auto, at about 40 mph it feels like your are hold the brakes on. Just for few seconds. But it will do this at other speeds. I have cleaned the maf and map, also the egr valve. Found air manifold to have a lot of carbon in it, is now clean. No fault codes are shown. Cleaning it had cleared problem for a few miles but now back again. Can any one point me in the right direction
Many thanks. Chris

do you have no pull from 1500 to 2000 rpm , i would say you need a new maf sensor , and would also change the intercooler vitron rings.. cleaning the maf dont work sorry to say... if you have alook at the intercooler, bottom hose to the n/s front of car , you will see a mist of oil around the intercooler pipework , if the seals have gone...

Thanks I will have a look at that, its a bit flat in low revs. The. Fuel is not to go about 26 on a 15 mile runs, at nights in lights of car behind when you put your hard down there's a haze over I respect unburnt derv????

Sorry fuel not to good 26.7 mpg. When you put your foot down a haze of unburt fuel?

It's worth looking at the intercooler O rings as already mentioned. The MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor) measures the airflow into the engine so it can put in the right amount of fuel. If the O rings are leaking and they often do, then measured air is not actually going in, but the fuel is. This means you are down on power, wasting fuel, and creating smoke.

The MAF may still be your problem, but O rings are much cheaper and will need to be done anyway.

Thanks, il have a look tonight if home in time and let you all know. Were the best place to get a maf from? Do BMW ones fit? As have a BMW spares next to were I work.

At the time I bought mine carparts4less.co.uk were the best selling a genuine one for the Rovers. You have to be careful about some of the non original parts as they perform poorly and don't last. Genuine Bosch is best. Euro car parts also do them and you get 25% off with the forum discount. That will bring you to pretty much the same price as the first place, as they are the same company.

But before you do that, do the Orings. They are a few punds, the MAF is a lot more.

Ok are they just o rings? As I have up to 4" o rings on the van all high temp for engines n transmisson. If not il order a set.

Hi all got o rings, egr cleaned out, intake manifold cleaned out, a maf sendor off of another car plus a map sensor. Cleaned all air pipes,, wish me luck lol let you know how it gos. Ps with maf disconnected it flys, but 15 mph

Duncan · Posted 20 Mar 2013, 19:37 #16

If it improves with MAF disconnected, it probably is the MAF. Happened with Steve's (Arctic) car.

chrisjag · Posted 20 Mar 2013, 20:44 #17

Sorry 15 mpg

Arctic · Posted 21 Mar 2013, 17:32 #18
