Help with hesitation on acceleration
« on: May 28, 2014, 08:45:10 PM »
Car seems to hesitate slightly on gentle acceleration, and sometimes cuts out when doing low speed manoeuvre.

I've twice passed Redex through, and noticed an improvement for about 3 days, then it reverts back.

I've read up on cleaning the EGR valve etc, you reckon that's my problem?

Well, it won't do any harm and is a no cost - only time - option, so give it a go. After that I suppose you would need to look at throttle body, injectors etc. You could also check the HT system, coils and plugs? are you getting any fault codes?

Sounds like egr valve. I had the same problem. Unbolt it, turn upside and fill with egr cleaner. Leave to soak overnight. Empty cleaner and bolt back on. If that doesn't work try a basic service, remember both sets of plugs.
