00 1.9DCi No Power, boost or acceleration!! - nmidd
My Scenic just doesn't want to go! It pulls away and all seems fine till you get to about 2000 rpm, just when you'd expect the turbo to start kicking in. Then there's no boost or acceleration, in fact if anything it feels like it holds back a bit, like a bit of a flat spot. You can rev it through the gears all you like but it just makes noise but no acceleration. If you hit even the slightest incline out on the road, then its down the gears, sometimes as far as third, just to keep it going. Theres no excessive smoke or any other signs of anything wrong. any one got any ideas??

It there's no sign of the trademark black smoke; then I'd wonder about the MAF sensor - have changed a few.

Get a good man to plug it in and watch the expected MAF readings against the actual ones in live-data; a big disparity will show a failed MAF.

If it is a MAF, get a dealer one only. The fakes are everywhere.
