Hi all.
Firstly I hope this finds everyone in good mental and physical health.
I wanted to pass on some information regarding intermittent power loss which I recently experienced. The car would sometimes not pull well, weather it be on a flat road or up hill. I came across a post from back in 2015 which pointed me in the right direction :Poor Performance on 2.0HDi
I found there to be 2 control solenoids the same, mounted next to each other. These were located on the back of the engine at the top left as you look from the front with bonnet open, and extremely hard to access. To replace them I needed to remove the O/S engine mount and drop the engine, then it was mostly done by feel. I had no idea which one was at fault so I replaced both. Now the car is running great again, power and torque as before.
Going back to the post I mentioned. The air doser was spoken about, which led me to look at my set up and try to understand it, I haven't understood it as yet and would appreciate some clarification if anyone knows. I think I'll start another post on this as this one has gone on a bit.
Thanks guys, stay safe.
