Hello to all at the O.O.F.
This is my 1st login on this forum and have little or no experience of how it works. I am a 33yr old male with my second miggy. it is a 2001 silver elegance model 2.2 DTi. It is a wonderful car but last week developed an annoying fault which i have yet to solve.
This is where you guys come in ........ I hope.
After overtaking a vehicle on my way to work the car which was in third gear at approx 70mph lost power immediately and filled the road with smoke. The orange management light lit in the dash and the car dragged itself to a halt. It will start and drive but will not rev over approx 1500rpm and is very smokey. I have changed the fuel filter and tried another airflow meter off a 2.0l DTi vectra but to no avail.
If anyone can suggest a solution to this problem or has experienced this before i would be very grateful indeed. The daignostic readout only describes a major fault but does not give any direct information as to the cause of the problem.
I really want to try and sort this out as i miss my miggy which is just parked in the drive at moment and i just cant afford the extortionate prices the main dealer would expect to sort it out.
I hope you guys can be of help as i was delighted to discover your forum while browsing for solutions.
thank you.
