United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Sumatra Black
Poor acceleration

Hi,

I looked in the forum, but haven't found a similar problem...

FL2 2008 125,000 miles. Just had a service and MOT which it passed.

Acceleration is very poor. In any gear (manual), if I press the pedal hard, not much happens and acceleration is veeeery slow. If I press the pedal gently, acceleration is better, but ultimately the car really struggles to get up to even 70!

I can't hear expensive noises, neither can I hear any turbo whistle though. No warning lights on the dash.

Fuel filter?
EGR valve?
Split turbo hose?

Thanks in advance Smile
Chris

Doesn't feel like clutch slip. I have had this on occasion a couple of years ago in 6th at 70 mph.

Was the fuel filter replaced at it last service? Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

First and foremost if the vehicle was in good order before your service and especially if a fuel filter was changed I would be sat on the door of the garage demanding some free action.

Strange no reduced power warning messages /lights. Just taking my air filter pipes off / Engine Cover to get at the fuel filter gives a reduced power message on my MY13 when restarted before pipe goes back on. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current

Sounds very similar to reduced power mode, by the sound of it your not getting any turbo boost.
