Good Morning Guys 

 

A month or so i posted another thread about various lights on the dash - Replacement Battery & an Emissions Sensor were replaced and the car has been driving well until the last few days ( car done 90k)

 

The car feels ( hard to describe) sluggish as it drives, 'heavy' almost as though not all the power is there?  - I have suspected that a caliper / brakes may be sticking but not hot and cant see any evidence of this?  Considered Turbo? Clutch ? 

 

seems to slow down quicker in gear but does freewheel out of gear? 

 

Really odd - does accelerate but feels like everything seems to take a ' bit more' effort for the car - No lights on dash

 

I have read that a duff emissions sensor can cause this ? Ive got it booked into a local garage but not really sure what im telling them apart from above?

 

Any advice welcome?  

 

 

    

You know your own car. Try to get an ODBC / CANBUS scan to see if there are any reported errors.

 

If there are no errors then can you check things like oil level or coolant level to make sure there are no leaks that will cause the engine to reduce power.

 

Failing that, it's Italian Tuning time. If you use Supermarket fuel, can you go and fill up with some Super Diesel from Esso/BP/Shell etc and keep the revs nice and high for a good fast long run (80 to 100 miles). You might have symptoms of a slightly blocked DPF filter. I personally recommend use an appropriate amount of Cetane Improver which keeps the car's performance sparkly, cleans the EGR and DPF. My favourite is Hydra International's Diesel Power Blaster
