    Vauxhall Zafira 2.0 DTi 2001 MY. POWER LOSS Archived Message

    Hi All
    Above car came in yesterday lacking power.No fault codes found. All intercooler pipes, vacuum pipes etc. ok. Road tested car and it has a job to go above 65mph in 5th, but will rev high when stationary (although sounds lacking in power).Filters etc. all done.
    Should I be able to move the wastegate linkage easily by hand?
    Do these engines suffer with turbo problems?
    Have just road tested it and the actual boost pressure reads about .90BAR Whereas the required boost pressure varies up to 1.96BAR also the wastegate stays at 65%. Is it wastegate/turbo at fault?
    Have I just answered my own question?
    Any ideas?
    Cheers kev
