·I have owned a 52 plate 2.2 diesel sport for 6 mths now and it has had a loss of power problem.
Most posts are for the more recent dci. Has anyone got missfire problems with an older XT?
The problem usually occurs at over 2300 rpm when you need a bit of oomf, i.e. pulling onto a motorway
or dropping down a gear to overtake. The engine 'holds back' but if you take your foot off the gas
and re-press the pedal then off you go, leaving a big black cloud of smoke behind you.
As advised by a mechanic I changed the fuel filter and filled it with injector cleaner, took it for a blast
down the motorway but the problem even occured whilst running on injector cleaner.
Also just had a problem with complete loss of power at low revs but this was rectified
by cleaning the EGR valve and intake but yes you've guessed it the other problem is still there.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers Aid.
