C8 2.2Hdi power and throttle

Post by h2ocooler »

Hi All
Had my C8 for a while now, had the same fault since I bought it but only really just getting round to sorting it out.

1. Lack of power, it will rev above 3000 so not in limp mode, sometimes it is worse than others but there is no pattern to it, it will pull but runs out of steam around 3000.
2. The throttle (or engine revs) seem to stick for a while when changing gear so when you dip the clutch the revs rise quite a bit BUT it wont always do this.

I have had it on my lexia and there are no fault code showing up, DPF is around 675km between regenerations and pressures are good for it, fuel rail pressure are near enough the set values, fuel and air filters have been changed.
Any thoughts?
