« on: 16 December 2009, 12:23 »
i have a tdi 150 and just lately when i put my foot down in 2nd 3rd or 4th it seem to take longer for the power to kick in and it. feels like it does when u put in to the wrong gear with not enough revs it struggles then powers off was not doing this a week or 2 ago. any ideas guys?

Check all your hoses and make sure none have come off / come loose.

Rhysos derv has been known to pop a hose or seven ;)

I was asking Dai if he used to have a 323f as in a Mazda 323F as the name and the location match.

Apparently when you do 30 and stick it in 4th and pu your foo down apparently if your clutch is on it;s way out you feel feel a judder on acceleration.
