Hello,
Been a while since I last wrote (no problems!!). However, I was pulling my caravan last weekend and thought the C5 was down on power - runs OK but when peddle to the metal - little acceleration. Only had the car for a year but I swear it had more go in it then than now. Anybody else out there had similar experiences? Tried it again today (no caravan in tow) and it just does not seem as fast off the mark as it was - all suggestions welcome.
Many thanks,
John.

Possible silly question alert : Whens the last time the fuel filter and air filter were changed?

Try to clean the air flow sensor. It's the first plug on the inlet manifold after the filter box.
Take it apart carefully and aplly a degreaser for electronic components that leaves *NO* residues.
Good luck!
