loss of power

Hi, I'm new to the forum so excuse if I posted the question in wrong place or something... So the problem is when i'm driving my car and floor it from about 1.8-1.9k rpm, doesn't matter which gear ( i don't do that on 1st gear) the turbo spools up fast and starts pulling good for a 2l 100kw...

Hi, I have just started to experience a loss of power in my 2002 330d. The last couple of times I have been out in it I have noticed reduced power with foot to the the floor. I am also getting quite a lot of smoke out of the back above around 2500rpm with foot to the floor. The power now feels...

BMW 3 Series 318i E90 When I first got the car it was quite nippy, I could get to 40 in third gear without getting much past 2,500rpm. Now I struggle to get to 40 in fourth gear without the car passing 2,500rpm. It definitely feels as though it has not got the same power and isn't as quick...

So when I'm in neutral or whilst I'm driving, after I let of the throttle I can hear a loudish "clack!" Sound and also sometimes it is a rattle... Along with this the car has lost a lot of power. The noise seems to be coming from the air intake/manifold place.... This all happened after I...

hi hopefully someone can help with my problem. I've had my 330d auto for about 5 months and all was fine up until a couple months ago when i started noticing a intermittent slight loss of power what pointed to all sorts of sensor problems but i could live with it. Until a couple weeks ago where...

Hi - driving my 2005 320D today and all of a sudden the car dropped to 1000 revs and no power. The car starts OK but even with my foot to the floor on the throttle the revs do not go over about 1,200. I managed to drive at about 7 miles per hour for a few hundred yards to get it off the main...

Hesitation at around 1500 rpm when traveling between 30 and 40 mph. Oh so when I'm driving my car when warmed up, between 30 and 40 mph in what I think is 3rd or 4th gear depending on the road- I press the accelerator pedal for more power and I'm getting a hesitation with drop in rpm's for...

Hi all I posted a few days ago about my 535d having no power through out the Rev range. It was working one min then not the next. Some basic fault diagnosis lead to see some shocking vacuum pipes. So I've replaced all but one that goes under the turbo that I can't find the end or what it...
