Nah I dont mate, fairly new on here so best bet is to check the for sale section and/or ask in the wanted section

As regards the ICV, do you have a breather filter attached to it on that short section of pipe? If you do make sure its not restricting the airflow.. this was the problem I had and although my car still feels like its holding back, when I had the breather filter fitted it was absolutely horrific, completely gutless!

I'm pretty sure my problem is the MAP sensor or at least sensor/electrical related, to the point where you can almost feel the ECU receiving duff readouts! Its definately not mechanical as such as there are points throughout the rev range where it just takes off and others where a moped would pull away from me

The only thing I still cant get my head round is how, when it does start hesitating, it still revs up smooth and fast.. just doesn't put its power down? Infact all the symptoms of a worn clutch, just without the burning and unmistakable slipping feel/sound?

Offer still stands for any local "6" owners to come help me source the problem, beer and cash waiting ftw

I fear this may be the same for me

Is there any way of knowing, before it actually starts noticeably slipping?

i would never of guessed, i had no idea it was the clutch until it went totaly, then after putting a new one in it flew!!

i changed the map sensor and the icv and still i got the same prob

Matt just have a couple of things for you to look at:

1. Thottle position sensor
2. Lambda
3. Engine temp sensor
4. Cat hasn't collapsed
5. Aux belt pullies, alternator, PAS pump spin round ok with no grinding
6. Does it have new and the right engine and gearbox oil
7. What exhaust and air filter?
8. Plugs all ok?
9. Could be dirty injectors
10. Are you sure you are getting full throttle and cable hasn't slipped - you might just be getting

Also, now that you have mentioned the engine temperature sensor... I have noticed that my car doesn't really heat up to what I would call normal operating temperature (90 odd degrees) unless im sat in traffic... on a 5 mile run to/from work it barely rises above 70?

Could that be a factor?

got a rallye that was doing same thing and it was map that was main fault but also needed to fit a knock sensor as it had damaged cristals in knock! also coolant temp sensors are a massive prob - i was a peugeot tech for 7 years so hopefully this may help

Sounds like the lambda to me... this was my problem with it hesitating and lurching but fine at full throttle

Yes very probably - mine did exactly that before I changed the TPS. You'll be getting through fuel quite fast as well i'd have thought.

Yea I'm going through about

Just made a horrible discovery.. while browsing the forums at 4am this morning (the joys of working nights) I discovered a thread where someone was describing how their 6 resembled the noise of a scooby. Turned out to be compression loss in one of the cylinders and alarm bells started ringing..

My 6 is producing a scooby-like roar under load and although its not using excessive amounts of oil, as I've mentioned earlier, it is breathing oil back in to the inlet to the point where it clogged the MAP sensor. Coupled with this power/torque loss all things are pointing to compression issues so can anyone arm me with possible causes and estimated costs before I go scaring myself!?
