Loss Of Power
Can someone please help,
Weve just bought a 1999 citroen xsara westcoast 1.4i and for some reason, not all the time when your driving along the car will lose power and splutter for a few seconds then will be fine for a while. Could be 5 minutes or a few days then will play up again. Manythanks wayne and Lisa |

Re: Loss Of Power
Hi wayneandlisa.
Have you still got the problmem with your Xsara? We have a 1998 1.8i and had similar problem where the thing wouldn't run at all, I could only drive it downhill and slowly, it wouldn't even climb my workshop ramps. I had remembered the previous owner saying there was an ECU problem once and the mechanic just disconnected the battery and let it sit for a while, reconnected and away it went. I tried this, first I only left it for a coupel of minutes and no glory. The second time I disconnected it and left it alone for 1/2 hour(like a naughty kid ) and low and behold(touch wood) my wife says the car is better than it ahs been for weeks. I did also change the O2 sensor. Good luck. Chris (in OZ) |
