h guys, got a little problem with the focus, when i go to accelerate lets say with my foot to the floor, it will seem very flat at times to pick up, but other times it will pick up just fine. before you say its the EGR valve, that has been blocked for quite some time, any ideas what it could be like a sensor or something that needs cleaning?
I was gonna say dodgey pedal too,does it go better with the egr valve bloked?
not really, about the same just doesnt have flat spots as this does it when it is blocked, its the most common problem the poxy egr valve blocking so everyone blocks the damm thing off! passed the mot like it!
when you say dodgy pedal you mean the whole thing needs replacing?
is it a recon turbo? sounds like the veins in the turbo arnt set up correctly, i found out that only garret can set variable vain turbo,s up unless they have a very special machine just for doing that
