Yeah, I hope this is it otherwise the van will be going as I've had enough!
Basically, there is no sign the fuel system has any problems, no fault codes showing, its a mystery!
The mechanic collected the van for me and drive it to the garage (typically it didn't play up for him!!!).
Van went up on the lift and the section to the back box has snapped. This wasn't the case before, so maybe that's why it wasn't playing up for him...!
These problems started after I had a new clutch installed (the thrust bearing went on the last one). While it was in the garage for the clutch, I asked them to patch the exhaust as it was mentioned to me on the last MOT that it was blowing. Maybe this caused the issues I'm having as it was venting through the holes in the exhaust where the CAT / exhaust was blocked.
Casper - thanks for the links, ive the garage (back street family kind) has sourced all the parts and will be fitting, as I have the wheel chair converted van the exhaust routing is different...! Nothing's easy is it?!
Anyway, full system including CAT and fitting is £250, which includes making the pipework to route where it needs to go. I was actually pleasantly surprised, I remember the days where a CAT alone was £500+! I suppose now DPF is the money spinner! Thankfully mine hasn't got one!
Just as an update on this, fueling and everything seem ok. The garage think it is an exhaust failure, causing a back pressure issue. Will keep the thread up to date in case anyone has similar issues.
I'll see if my mate at the garage can run live readings for me. The last diagnostic test was ran without the engine running. Came back all clear.
MAF on the 1.9 it basically on the pipe that leaves the top of the air filter housing.
I seriously hope it is the MAF sensor! My last attempt before taking it is is to clean it.
Thanks both. It's not particularly high mileage, it's around 140,000 miles and hasn't really had a tough life as it's a wheelchair conversion rather than a builders van.
I'm hoping it's not the pump or injectors. I haven't really had a good chance to look today as I've been working. When I looked the night it happened, the injectors looked a little wet but there was no strong smell of diesel so I'm not too sure. I think my best option is to go to a diesel diagnosis place to check the pressures.
Yeah, I fully primed it. When it started stuttering yesterday I pulled over and re primed it but it was still doing it
Hi all. I've used the website on and off over the last few years but only just registered as I can't seem to find any solution to a problem I've encountered, so thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to suggest anything or has had a similar issue in the past.
My van is a 2004 Dispatch (non turbo).
All
Recently, my dispatch van was stuttering slightly at motorway speeds when maintaining a speed - basically, when doing 60ish mph, it would suddenly feel like the van was hit by a head wind. A slight press on the throttle would solve the issue.
Since this, I've replaced both the fuel and air filter, which made no difference. I've also taken it to a garage who plugged it into the diagnostic machine and no faults were showing.
I have used it earlier and it was doing the same, but all of a sudden, it started jerking when trying to maintain a speed, as if the engine was trying to stall. This would stop I I floored the throttle or got off it completely.
Basically, I got home driving it like a 2 stroke, throttle on full, or throttle off.
Temp is normal, oil level ok, water level ok, no strange or unusual sounds. No engine management light. When the throttle is fully down, it just accelerates normally with no issues. When I'm still in neutral, I can accelerate through the revs with no issue or stuttering, so it's only when the engine is under load.
people have suggested air flow meter or throttle position sensor. I haven't changed these as I thought any fault on these would be shown on the diagnostic?
If it makes any difference, I recently had a new clutch fitted. Prior to this, I used to have the very slight 'head wind' sensation.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
