D4d A Bit Sluggish

[chatman]

On way home noticed the RAV was not it's normal self...pulling away and accelerating through the gears and on the motorway...there seemed a flat spot for a few seconds then oomph back again...

As if the RAV is being held back...foot down further makes no difference...I've seen on here before suggestions of using fuel cleaner's..

What's the best type to use...

HA HA possible... :D

Been down this route before about year half ago..turned out HP fuel pump was knackered :crybaby: MR T wanted over £1200 just for new part..got it re-conditioned like new at half the cost...

So just hoping it is just a bit of S**T in the pipes....

May be worth an opinion from Moonstone Mart as well.

Lets hope it's just dirty fuel...

filled up at Esso as the cars were blocking the road at normal BP I use....and this Esso is a Tesco store as well ....... eeek.......

I hope it is dirt or water in your fuel Chatman and nothing serious or expensive.

And that the problem clear's up quickly.

All the best

A Bit worse this morning...Called local garage and car in this afternoon for tyre kicking... :( :( :(

[Parts-King]

A fuel filter inspection should be a first point of call, checking for any water trapped in it, if in doubt, change it

Well Garage inspected it and diagnosed an Air Flow Meter

Will be looking to get one of these soon then...

Couple of questions though...

1. How long do they last before completely giving up

2. Easy to fit (no mechanic me but can do most tasks)

3. Any experience with these meter's

Chatman, I'm sure Anchorman answered this one allready. Worth a search.

At least they've found the problem, that is a good thing.

Good luck with the repairs

Sorry to hear about your poorly baby Chatman.
