Sussed it!
Basically the accelerator cable was badly adjusted (when the engine was fitted) so it was only pulling the injector pump arm 2/3rds the distance is should have been pulling, even tho the pedal was fully depressed. Have readjusted closer to the pivot so it now pulls the full distance hence full acceleration! What a relief! Now uphills fine. Means idling speed is slightly higher but I can deal with that. Will look into additional cold air intakes to give it a bit more poke.
Thankyou! All great advice. Good to hear from experienced members.
I have recently replaced the air filter (which was black) and replaced and bled the fuel filter (also clogged) both of which have improved performance and acceleration on the flat, but she still under performs on hills. I think you may be right about the timing belt not accurately fitted when it was replaced as on cold start she tends to ‘miss a beat’ until she warms up. Also could bad clutch fitting be a cause? She doesn’t slip but feels more like towing a load. Ive been reading up on cold air intake and am wondering if I could substitute the large air filter housing or would that complicate timing?
You guys are amazing Thankyou
Hi, I'm new to this forum. I'd be grateful for any input on this. I recently bought:
2005 Citroen Dispatch 1.9D Enterprise.
It has had a replacement engine fitted which is now on approximately 113000 miles.
When it was replaced it had a new cambelt and clutch fitted (3000 miles ago).
My problem is it just doesn't seem to have any pull. Fine on the straight but acceleration is really poor.
With the slightest incline it struggles and drops to 15mph. Seems to be a serious lack in BHP.
Now, would it be possible to fit a 2.0 HDI turbo unit, plus manifold etc to the current 1.9D (of which I have found one for £100) or would it be wiser to look for a
2.0 HDI replacement engine (fiat/Peugeot etc). Would would you do to get more BHP out of this 1.9D????
Any advice would be amazing thank you
