efc2411 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hi, was wondering if anyone could help? My connect has a 1.8 Diesel engine and seems to have very low power until it reaches around 40mph then it sort of kicks in. Ive recently had a full service to try and rule out diesel/air filter causing any problems. Its due to go back in Monday to see what the problem might be.

davidparker Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 It sounds like you might be low on compression. How many miles? I do not have a diesel, so I don't know what "normal" behavior. Did it happen all of the sudden? I suspect the techs will have an answer for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 When they check it out have the waste gate checked. If it is not closing tight it will take the turbo longer to spool up and give enough boost. As davidparker asked Did the problem start recently or has it been around along time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Check for leaks. I had a leak in boost sensor hose and also a bad boost sensor. No power whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
