2009 avensis 2.0 D4D acceleration hesitation.

[MapleOk]

In second gear, by depressing the accelerator pedal to the floor, it takes about 2 seconds for the car to pick up speed. Basically there is lack of power. There are no problems with the other gears, but there also seems to be a time delay.

 

Is this a common problem? Is it normal for this model?

As I know turbocharged engines are known for turbo lag. If that is not the issue, there are plenty tips what can go wrong in this video. What is the mileage of your car? Maybe the turbo is on its way out, maybe engine is losing compression etc.
