loss of power

Hi everyone , I’m getting loss of power on my Zafira 1.9 ctdi 2008. I wouldn’t say it’s full limp mode and can be intermittent. The engine light is on and fault codes 22759 and 242F75. From my research it’s pointing towards the dpf or egr valve . I’d be grateful for any advice as money is right...

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my Astra where on the first start there is reduced power and revs wont go beyond 3000. If I turn off the engine and restart the car it is fine and revs like normal. Plugged a scanner in and no codes are returned. Has anyone experienced this before? Is this a...

Hi Guys, I’ve recently bought a 2017 Vauxhall Astra GTC 1.4T Limited Edition and the footwell lighting is very intermittent. When I go over bumps etc it starts flashing and just turns on and off randomly. Has anyone else ever experienced this issue before? I also feel like I’ve had a slight...

Hi, This is my first post ever in a forum, so please help me with this. I have a 2011 Astra 1.7cdti 110hp model, a few weeks ago I was driving on the motorway when under acceleration I felt the loss of power for fraction of a second and then it continued like normal. I continued to commute...

hi everyone, Got a Vauxhall insignia 2.0 Cdti ecoflex, 2015 model.. scanned the car coming up with the code P0299 engine underboost, this only occurs when car goes over 3500 rpm in any gear.. I have looked into all the sensors replacing some and cleaning others as from the picture it’s reading...

Hello! Seem to have a boost issue on my wifes Zafira B cdti 150. No warning lights or fault codes stored at all. No black smoke or anything indicating a dpf or egr issue. The EGR was changed for a new one around 5 months ago but that threw up a fault code when it died (i think it just...

Hi everyone. i would greatly appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this as its driving me and the old man mad. Basically on Sunday (6th) i started the car up in the morning to go on a 80 odd mile round journey. The car gave the spanner light and engine light that morning and hesitated to...

Car is mk4 (-98) Astra 1,6l 16v (about 260,000 km). It started to use more oil, and quite suddenly also more gas. I had ignored some "knocking" in the engine until car lost some power. It always started and I could drive it but going uphill became suddenly tough. The engine had slight burning...

Hi Guys, New member so I hope someone can help. 2011 Insignia Diesel 2.0. 92K on the clock. Basically I'm a keen amateur with about 20-years of home maintenance experience. So, the EGR cooler jacket had a leak, changed it BUT got a bit cocky and didn't mark up to vacuum pipes etc, just...

Basically the car broke down at the weekend. All manner of warning lights came on the dash and I lost power steering etc. The garage thinks the cause is a blown control unit behind the dash and believe that it is due to aftermarket wiring, ie a mobile eye device (accident preventative...

I have an Insignia 2.0 cdti 163, first registered December 2014. I've had my eye on the MPG which recently seems to have dipped and yesterday on acceleration there was a sudden loss of power followed by an on dash message saying to "service soon". Its also nowhere near its service which isn't...

CORSA POWER LOSS/FALTERING ACCELERATION IN LOW REVS Hi everyone, I have a 2012 1.4 Petrol Corsa that has started having problems with loss of power. It burbles/falters at the beginning of any acceleration (in any gear) until 1500-2000+ revs when it picks up and accelerates fairly smoothly...

I have a 2011 Corsa D 1.3cdti, when started from cold it is very sluggish with no power for the first 2 miles and then it returns to normal, this has only happened the last 2 to 3 days. When cold the engine will not rev above 3000 rpm at which it splutters a little but appears to be firing on...

Afternoon all, I'm not very mechanically minded so please don't be too harsh. I have vauxhall astra j 1.7tdci on a 2011 plate and I'm having issues with it, I'm looking for advice on what it is. The problems started a few weeks ago but I didn't think it was anything major at first. The Rev...

Hi everyone, I'm new in here and reading some of your comments has me concerned! I have a Vivaro 14 plate with no issues so far, do I need to take this to a main dealer to get the water ingress problem looked at? I couldn't see if this effects the 2014 vivaro's. Also anyone any good at fault...

Hi there. I have a 54 plate Corsa C. A couple of weeks ago an orange engine symbol illuminated on the dashboard. This warning light has subsequently gone out. However, the engine suddenly loses its power when driving or accelerating now. You can have your foot flat to the floor and it won't...

Hi all. Hopefully someone can help me. I have a 2008 vivaro 2.0. Recently it started to make a whizzing/whistling sound as I accelerate. It gets louder as I accelerate and I am loosing power around 2000rpm. I'm guessing it's a turbo issue.....? It drives ok at low speeds and slow acceleration...
