My run about seems to be holding back/lacking power recently. First of all i thought it was the cold but even when driven for an hour its still holding back when you put your foot down. My first thought is plugs, can anyone confirm this? It runs spot on, no miss fire or anything like that. Just feels sluggish and under power a certain revs and gears. Not fuel injection btw and its recently been serviced (but the plugs where not changed)

Cheers,

i have exactly the same problem on my 1.1 saxo so i'll be watching this thread aswel!

 

Just got back home after driving 35 miles. It drives nice and smothe, not stuttering but its deffo holding back. For example i go the same way to work every day and there is quite a steep slope i have to go up. I've always taken it in 2nd gear no problems, but today i had to down shift to first... weird

 

Erm..... It's a 1.1 mate

 

I know its no rs turbo, but it used to go a fair bit quicker! just seems to have lost "performance" over the last few days.

 

Sell it, it's French!

 

I would but I just spent Ł250 sorting the brakes on the f'ing thing!

 

The T4 Turbo could be on its way oot

 

I think a T4 is bigger than the entire engine in this thing

Does 55+ mpg though

 

God that must be some hill if you have to take it in 2nd, 1st now

 

 

i had this on the birds Corsa

tirned out to be the Cat

Id replaced

coil pack
plugs
leads
ECG Valve
Air Flow Meter

Was fuckign raging with it but drives perfect now

 

Thanks Daz, if the plugs dont cure it i'll try the other bits. Cant be anything to serious as it starts and runs sweet as a nut.
