V50 1.8 Hesitation
Hi, I have a V50 1.8 2006, with 82k on the clock. The vehicle has developed an annoying intermittent hesitation and lack of power on acceleration. This issue normally appears after the vehicle has been driven for a number of miles and has reached full running temperature, and is more noticeable at higher speeds. There are no eml codes or warn lights on, but have also noticed that the engine sounds a bit rough/vibration if I rev it in neutral between 2000 -2500 rpm. Not sure if the two are linked. I have started with some simple fixes checking for vacuum air leaks (none found), changed spark plugs and a full set of new coil packs, but none have made the slightest change to the symptoms. Has anyone experienced the same and found the cause?

Hi,
On my older v40 i had similar sounding issues which in the end was the MAF. Hesitiant and no fault codes. Could be worth an investigate.

Thanks for the response. Yesterday I removed the throttle body housing and whilst having better access, I removed the MAF too. The throttle body was quite clean considering age/mileage, but I gave it a clean anyway. The MAF was dirty with oil/grease so I gave that a good clean with electrical connector cleaner and reinstalled both. I took it for a spin and it performed much better with only the slightest hint of hesitation. However, I have driven the car again today and the hesitation is progressively returning. Could the MAF be soiled again already or failing? Or I wonder if one of these components has a poor electrical connection or break and during my investigations it helped repair it, although only momentarily?! |

Thanks - Interesting suggestion. I had the throttle body off yesterday along with the MAF and cleaned and reinstalled both. The car was running so much better, but the hesitation has returned again today. So whilst I had the throttle body off, reinstallation may have improved this connection for a short time.

Air mass meters do not get dirty , for one they are fed with clean filtered air and also they clean themselves when you turn the ignition off . The number of £350 air mass meters i have seen destroyed by cleaning in my career is astonishing .

My MAF was soiled with oil/grease, so I do not know why this would occur when you say it is only supplied by clean air. Theres lots online about clean MAF and throttle valves, so whats causing that black carbon like a deposit? My airbox and filter is clean as a whistle. Why are MAF £350? A Bosch replacement on mine is circa £25 and took about 40mins to remove and install. |

Hi clan , i hear your the best in the business on here so thought id ask. got a 2.0d 2008 v50 . it has single throttle body and cant see any signs of a dpf. we did find a dpf pressure sensor lying under a seat though when we bought it. I had an issue where revs would stutter at 1800 to 2000 rpm, a few ways resolved that, disconnected maf, driving hard or towing. now disconnected egr and blocked it and its fine that way. But my issue now is, and had it before the egr was blocked off. sometimes and getting worse now, the car doesnt start correctly, no throttle response, heavy black smoke out back, and some smoke from back of the engine, i think below the egr. throttle been cleaned but im told i should shave it a bit so it doesnt / cant stick. any other ideas, thanks |

Yes that is typical of the throttle flap you talked about sticking , take the unit off and file around the edge of the flap both sides so that when it is shut you can just see the smallest amount of light through the edges ...
