#1: HDI 2.0 Power Issue - SOLVED Author: MattBurrows, Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2015 12:22 pm ---- Hello.
My HDI has never done more than 80mph on a flat road.
Recently i have had an issue where the power will shoot to more than ever for about 30 seconds before returning to normal
Any ideas what would be causing this?
Should I unclip the EGR Valve? Could it be the fuel pump?
Obviously i would like to utilize this higher power as the car is capable of producing it. Last edited by MattBurrows on Wed Jan 21, 2015 10:30 am; edited 4 times in total

#3: Re: HDI 2.0 Power Issue Author: MattBurrows, Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2015 12:49 pm ---- do you think disabling the EGR Valve would be a good idea anyway? and is it easy to do?

Did the engine revs increase when the car suddenly had an increase of speed? Go off the noise from the engine, not what the dash said.
Has the EML illuminated?
What year is the car?
Any Peugeot service history?
Intermittent faults are always difficult to find and sods law says that as soon as you start looking for it, it won't happen. Stop looking for the fault and it will happen all the time.

I have now fitted a straight thru exhaust and had the cat piped off.
It now runs great.
Thanks guys : )

#8: Re: HDI 2.0 Power Issue - SOLVED Author: MattBurrows, Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 9:26 am ---- yeah, when the join started to crack, exhaust gasses would escape, back pressure would decrease and off it would go.
when the join cracked apart completely, the backbox was no-longer connected and i had loads of power.
After getting the decat and thru pipe fitted, back pressure is at a minimum and it flies along.

#10: Re: HDI 2.0 Power Issue - SOLVED Author: MattBurrows, Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 1:20 pm ---- Whats your engine size...
This definatly made a difference. Top speed was 80, now it's above 110, but Im not sure exactly!

Probably a vacuum leak
