I have a similar vehicle to you from Euro Car Parts L2 H2 that I have just bought. It goes fine until it hits 70. So do they have limiters on then ?
Or do I have the same issue as he has below and maybe you do too.
Someone on a similar forum had the same issue and it turned out to be . .All sorted, it turned out to be the turbo pressure sensor located under the airbox. The plastic nipple had snapped off so the pipe was hanging down.

Mine is pretty fast tho up until 70mph its the same as yours the 130 mines a 2016 with 214k on though. It drives superb and in great condition apart from it will need a new clutch soon as only been done twice and its a bit high.
I have also noticed when i turn on my ignition something like Economy Mode Active pops up in the display so there maybe modes within the computer.
The other things it can be is the Mass Airflow Meter/sensor as this will cause it to run like you describe the injectors are going bad or leaking or your DPF needs changing but they spend most of their lives on the motorway so i doubt the DPF is blocked or you have an air leak somewhere or maybe a faulty fuel pressure sensor or your throttle cable needs adjusting

Hi all. I'm not getting notifications for replies so I'll check my settings.

DaveReeves, good to hear from you.

Let me offer an update.

Going backwards in my posts.
The Intermittent No Throttle is when it's Regening.
Yes Speed Limited to 69 which can be removed using Snapon, Lexia etc. Had mine over 100.
Economy Mode is to do with the battery and van in principle. It's anoying and won't allow you to sit with lights or radio on with engine off. No biggie really.
Not sure of any Turbo sensor under Airbox, Maybe that's the 1.6? On ours the vac sols are behind the top of the engine. 2x plus 1 Pressure Converter.
When i bought mine it had a leaking injector seal and needed a clutch, to name just 2 things wrong with it. It originally took 25 seconds to get to 60. More like 17-19 now. For referrence it should take 13 seconds. Fast Vans! replaced MAF MAP, 2x services in 10k miles and once a week run an EGR/Turbo cleaner thru the Manifold. Also use Dipetane inthe tank.
Fault codes no obvious using FAP app and Diagbox......P1497 P2566 P2562 and now and again the odd Low PRessure in rail at start which could be Fuel PRess Regulator, or Pump or likely Open Injector losing pressure. However, it's very very smooth when driving so I don't think there's a problem with combustion.

Most obvious symptoms now:

Lots of smoke at start up that eventually clears then it's fine all day. Suspected Leaking Injector. Been like this since I bought it May 22 ans 11k miles. Never failed to start, never broken down and never an engine light on.
EGR Cooler Kaput and pressurising the coolant bottle and filling it with soot. No signs of Head Gasket.
Turbo Actuator Copy Sensor glitching and not achieving full turbo.

Other than that, it's a bloody fast van when it goes.

Hi all. I've recently taken off my EGR /cooler to replace the gasket thinking it was leaking gases into the cooling system, but it might actually be an issue I created myself last year when I took the EGR for inspection. It's very possible I've not correctly bled the system as the alternative is the EGR is kaput or the head gasket is gone.

So, can I bleed the system without the Charge cylinder? I've not manged to so far. I've bled it as best I can. When it warms up the expansion bottle fills up.......then eventually the safety valve releases the pressure.

I think it's the head? sad

Sorry somehow missed this post.

I've recently tried blocking the EGR but it ran terribly. Stuttering and no throttle response so removed the blanking plate.

Have you not disconnected/blocked the EGR? I dont know about modern Van's, but the mk1 runs better with the EGR disabled. I just blocked the air tubes that actuate the valve, so that it doesn't light up the engine vault light.

Wondering if anyone can see anything obvious on this FAP app for Peugeot Citroen??.

80mph 3000rpm 4th gear I think, could be 5th, turbo only 43%?

I'mNoExpert · General Discussion

I should mention I have the L2H2...........but No Van does 0-60 in 6 seconds.......lol yikes

unless it's a double turbo highly tuned.......

I'mNoExpert · General Discussion

Whaaaaaaaaaaa? 6 seconds?????????? that's motorbike speeds. Not suggesting you a Lieing, butcan you confirm it? thats is INSANE Rocket Speed big_smile

Assuming they are the same or similar engines, you could try a 0-60 speed to see if it's at least close to what it should be. I believe the 1.6 is 17 seconds, where the 2.0 130bhp what I have should be around 13 seconds. Mine takes around 18-20 seconds, hence why I'm looking for solutions. Good luck with it.
Don't often get the chance round here but I floored it to 50mph in about 6 seconds. I recon it would get to 60 in maybe 8s, and certainly 10s

:With the regen the important thing is that it kicks off at 5g calculated soot. If it kicks off before this then its because the exhaust is getting clogged.

One step closer to understanding the problems.

the erratic no response appears to be directly linked to the Regen cycle. I can see Live data on my FAP app when Regen is taking place. we do a lot of small journeys around town only and it's Regening around 150miles or so.

But, as well as this my FAP app is suggesting 2 potential problems. P1497 and P2562.

Something aint right with this Turbo me thinks...

Hi folks. Out of the blue the rear door centre latch won't release. I've managed to pry both boors apart to undo the bolts etc and I've got them apart, but can't free the loop from the latch.

Any ideas? It is likely the actuator itself failed? Is it fused? what could be up with it?

Thanks.

Have you checked when the regens are taking place. The trigger to kick the process off is when the calculated soot reaches 5g/l. The backup is to measure the differential pressure across the exhaust. When it hits some predefined level the regen is kicked off. If it is doing this all the time then it could indicate a clogged up exhaust.

My main suspected areas are Leaking Injector/s filling cylinders over night and being forced into exhaust DPF upon turning over causing frequent Regn's OR it's simply failed Glo plugs OR even more possibly a consideration of both.

Others things I've considered worn Accelerator pedal causing irregular fuel injection.

Variable Vane/Actuator issue

with with no actual codes on the van (I have Diagbox 7.83 but not all ecus are recognised. It's been suggested I need later versions?) I can read live data and see all kinds of info on injectors, air mixer, egr turbo etc, but no idea how to interpret the data.

I'mNoExpert · General Discussion

Hi, Tee_Cee yeah it's regenning around every 100-150 miles, but we do far too many short runs daily. Using the FAP app I can see live data on my phone and even when a regen is taking place. I can also read the FAP pressure which shows around 3mbar at idle rising to up to 300mbar and full throttle dropping to around 50-60mbar while cruising. So I'm pretty confident these values are well within the norm? unless you can correct me?

I'mNoExpert · General Discussion

Hi, thanks for stopping by.

It IS a Performance vehicle. The expected 0-60 is 12.8 seconds for this van. It is a 2.0 hdi 130bhp. The 1.6 hdi 0-60 is 17 seconds. These are official figures offered by Peugeot.

If you read my post again, I have already inspected the CAT and it looks 'Like New'. Even my mechanic commented on how clean it was considering the mileage.

However, non of this excuses my symptom of 'Intermittent No throttle Response'.

Thanks.

I feel your pain. My issue was actually the opposite - I had too much power. Eventually tracked it down to all the injectors being worn.
At one time it was suggested to me that the engine might have been remapped, so I got a dealer to check the ECU firmware. For £110 they updated the firmware to the latest version. Didn't make any difference, but the FAP app would no longer recognise the ECU - and the developer ignored requests to update the app.
Sounds like you have eliminated most things, so it may be worth getting the injectors out and tested.

Well Tee_Cee I've changed almost everyhting I can now still no fault codes on the van. I've just replaced all 3 vac sols on the back for new. No Change.

However I have just posted another question to follow a theory.

The only clue I have now is an Intermittent No throttle Response and a code on the FAP App P2566 Turbo Copy Position.

My memory is going round in loops to a possible Pedal Position Sensor too, but it's not popped up for a long while now.

So I thinking a direct turbo issue, or Injectors or ECU.

Posted in the wrong section....Re-posted here.

Hi all, had this van since May 2022 and it's almost destroyed me in time effort and cost.

I expect this van to complete 0-60 in around 13 seconds but it's take anything from 17-20 seconds. The 1.6 takes 17 seconds! Yes, it's a 6 year old van and got 180k on it, BUT, it's a 1 owner (Euro car Parts) with 6k or receipts including Turbo, EGR, Air Doser. Clutch etc. in the last 15k miles or back in 2021. I've covered around 6k miles in 10 months and I've changed MAF,MAP, Crankcase/Shaft sensors, Fuel filter, all 3 solenoids on top of engine, it's been checked for vac leaks with nothing to report (I need to recheck to confirm). I've also had the EGR off for inspection and it's had a Hydrogen Carbon Clean. Currently running with Dipetane in the tank.

I have never been in LIMP or had an EML on the dash.

Without going in to too much detail right now, let me say what I can observe daily. It has NEVER failed to start, but sometimes it turns over and doesn't fire, so I turn off key and try again and it fires right away.

The most telling: Intermittent No Response from accelerator Pedal for maybe 1 second then it Boosts and goes normal. (No Fuel-Pedal Position-Turbo sticking?) I've used REVIVE which produced a large deposit of black oily gunk that leaked from the Turbo out to CAT joint. CAT looks like new on inspection.

It runs smooth and ticks over fine. (there can be a rythmic erratic idle that goes away under Electrical load-It's had a recent alternator on too)

Lots and lots of white smoke at startup that clears after 1 minute or so (Leaking Injector or failing Glow Plugs?)

Noisy tapping, ticking, farting on acceleration (possible leak after Turbo to CAT or Injectors?)

Loses power or boost at higher gears speeds.

Sound changed on acceleration from rough to smooth to rough

Acceleration is not smooth, but not that noticeable either/It can be very subtle.

Uneven acceleration (seems to be a flat spot or several-can sometimes run forward when letting OFF throttle)

It's a lot to take in, but if we just start from....Sometimes there is no response from the Pedal and Code P2566.

Looking for some experienced minds on this. I'm beat!

The only codes I have from the FAP app:

Low Fuel Pressure at Startup.

P2566 Turbo Copy Position

I've NO CODES on the van itself, however i have a FAP Peugeot/Citroen app that has raised a few issues.

Hi again everyone. It's been 6 months since my last confession...er...wrong forum!

It's been 6 months since i posted and still have low power output. Let me start again by askig this?

Is it possible or Likely that this has been remapped for Less Power Output as it was Fleet Van? I have had this to several garages with no luck on any diagnosis or fault finding. I've changed almost everything sensor side, MAP, MAF and all Vac Sols atop rear of engine.

the van runs smooth, sometimes 'Farts' under acceleration, but this could also be a poor combustion cycle. I can sit parked in neutral and it revs freely and smoothly. I've used REVIVE which spewed a lot of oily gunk from the turbo exhaust joint to the Cat. I've taken the CAt off and it's looks LIKE NEW as it joins the DPF.

I've ruled out htat many things I'm left thinking it's been Remapped for Lower Power Output at factory?

I've wasted almost 9 months of my life trying to diagnose low power and speed when it might be intentional!!! I'm beat.

Hi and welcome.
I don't think that the airmixer values mean much. This is a butterfly valve on the air intake. It restricts air intake to encourage intake from the egr and will also block air intake when the ignition is switched off.

IF the throttle body butterly opens and closes upon Pedal Position and Redirects to EGR, might this be why it goes quicker if \i let off the throttle? you see if i put my foot down the slower it goes, but when i let my foot up and feather the throttle the response is so much better.

Therefore if the EGR is infact blocked, but not enough to throw a code, could letting off the throttle move the airflow back to the Throttle body intake manifold for air? Maybe I'm talking rubbish. trying to get my head around how it all goes together.

If it restricts Air to encourage EGR, what if EGR is blocked? How might that translate to the numbers on the spreadsheet?

Take a look at these Fuel Pressure readings too......

Hi, Tee-Cee. I don't know enough to assume either way what these numbers mean, but take a look at this screen shot from earlier in the readings. Solid state of numbers that go to zero. Take a look at the EGR readings also.

Highlighted Blue where readings have dropped to Zero yikes

Hi folks. Happy to be here and I hope I can be saved and help save. I had a 2007 Scudo a while back in metallic Blue. It's was the 2.0 120 JTD and it went like a rocket.

I've recently bought as in title and it takes over 20 seconds to get to 60!!!!! but it is also limited to 70mph with a Soft Speed Limiter that starts slowing from 60mph.

It was a Euro Car Parts fleet van and comes with about 6k of receipts, including brand new clutch last week, new EGR and Turbo less than 10k ago, Manifold cleaned, new Throttle body Air dozer etc. but 176,000miles on it. It doesn't smoke* see below. Turbo works** but it's soo slow.
It's got Full Service and I've just replaced the Fuel filter MAP and MAF and added a bottle of Forte Injector Cleaner. It's quiet and very tidy, but won't shift. Sometimes it jerks while driving slowly.
Please take a look at these numbers to see if anything stands out. I'm using a cheap generic EML 327 scanner with the FAP app from Amazon.

I've checked all i can see but struggling to access the solenoids at the back of the engine top. For all intents and purpose, it seems to work from a standstill, but loses boost. I've checked for leaks but maybe I've missed something.

*Intermittent smoke on startup and erratic Idle
**Turbo works fine but seems to lose boost from 2nd gear onward.

The section highlighted in Blue has a lot of zero's in it considering the van is still moving. I don't know what to make of it?? Hope you can help out.
