@@sleepycatpictures1176 just another way for manufacturers to squeeze money out of the motorist, normal oil filters have been ok for decades and easier to replace
@@adambraithwaite3177 Thanks for following! Bodgery was done due to financial constraints. The problem was the MAF sensor and the pipe from the turbo which was was not seating properly thus allowing the boost air to escape. We could hear the noise on acceleration. The actuator seemed to be too loose to me that's why I popped a spring on it. We changed the boost solonoid and the sensor - made no difference. Sometimes either of those two can cause a problem but in this case, no. Van runs fine apart from a large oil leak from somewhere which still has to be solved.
Great video, I've got a 2013 with all the lights on , turbo underboost on the code reader. Turbo is clean and so is the dpf , going to give this a try. The mechanic that's looked at it ( and I use the term mechanic loosely) didn't say anything about the stuff you've looked at.
When driving, we could hear the escaping boost from the turbo. The pipe we nearly changed is only a press fit. It was damaged in a previous removal by the garage. All I did was fasten it down. It's working now okay, fingers crossed! Changing the boost sensor and solonoid has worked for other people but not us, it was the MAF in the end.
what codes is it showing on diagnostic.? i`ve had loads of issues with mine, and now she runs amazingly.. one thing i will say especially with the MAF. do NOT buy cheap universal parts, only use OEM. these engines don`t like it..
@@themagpie_1 Sounds like good advice to me. Sorry can't remember the codes, the son-in-law was dealing with that. Van's running okay, we just need to deal with the oil leaks!
Morning Derek A great little tinkering video. Might I say, with a HIGH degree of "fudgery" not just "fudgery" Glad all worked out ok. Well, apart from the pesky oil filter housing. Hope yourself & Freda are doing well & keeping warm now autumn is upon us . Stay lucky. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Alan L200
I have a 2015 1.6 vivaro. Wont rev over 2k rpm underload. But revs freely out of gear. Its being a headache. I have maf sensor and high voltage circuit on boost sensor. So ive ordered two vauxhall parts. But get the feeling these just wont fix it. Only on 90k. No smoke. No rattles. Although cylinder 4 glow plug has a small amount of oil or diesel around it. I wonder is this also an issue. But my luck the egr and turbo are down the back of the engine tight to the firewall apparently its a drop the subframe job. Any advice would be appreciated.
Our lack of boost was the MAF and a leaking pipe from the turbo. You could hear the air escaping. The first job we had to do was the ignition switch, which was not allowing power through. Sorry to not be of more help. Good luck.
@sleepycatpictures1176 I appreciate the response. I have fitted a new maf sensor and boost sensor. Got full power back and then the spanner and engine light have come back on. So it's time to find a leak somewhere. Do you know where the ignition switch is on a 1.6 2015? Thank you. And keep uploading your helping people out greatly! Regards
@@GhostTrader37 The switch on ours was in the column behind the key barrel. I did not film it in case any unsavoury types used the info for the wrong purposes. The cowling has to come off and the barrel comes out after pressing lugs in with the key in. Can not remember now but it was not too complicated. The reason we changed ours was because after a squirt of WD, the switch did not work at all. The new switch had to come from a main dealer.
@@sleepycatpictures1176 I have a 1.9 Trafic without the big blue connector, and it was running really well then over night it only has about ten percent of the normal power, and foot to the floor can hardly get up my driveway. Any ideas ? I can't drive it to a garage in it's present state. Thanks
@@jackspratt4343 Sounds like the MAF. We first changed the Boost Pressure Sensor and the one fastened to the right hand side of the inner wing. Made no difference to ours but somebody else with a Vivaro fixed his by changing those two items. Presumably the engine starts well enough? Probably not related, but I had a similar problem with Old Stinky. Turned out to be the EGR stuck open. There was so much exhaust gas going into the intake it could not accelerate! I had to blank it off in the end.
@@sleepycatpictures1176 Thanks for your reply. I had an EGR related problem that rendered the van almost undriveable and leaving behind palls of black smoke.It was pinking like crazy and surging. I turned the EGR around and disconnected it and this did help alot initially but then returned back to the pinking and smoking and surging. This was caused by the air filter being coked up. Once replaced , the van drove like a dream for a few weeks until I drove across town to pick up something, and when I restarted the van to return home, it was totally down on power. Almost can't make it up the drive, lucky to get it back since there are mild hills around here. p.s. I had already just replace the MAF with an expensive one, and have also disconnected it to default to a backup fuel mapping. No joy. Another youtuber suggested the wiring loom is faulty. I get fault codes P1806, P1814, P1802 , P1806 . P1806 Short circuit to battery 4 wheel drive ( its not 4 wd as far as I know ). P1814 same as P1806. P1802 Transmission Clutch interlock safety switch short circuit to battery. P1802 the same Transmission Clutch safety lock. Thanks again.
@@jackspratt4343 Crikey, buy a Ford. Some fault codes will still activate even if that item is not fitted. A leaking intercooler will give those symptoms. Check the face of it and look for any oily residue. I had a Diesel Vectra with the same problem, smoke and no power. As soon as I re-plumbed the pipeing, it went like stink.

Can’t thank you enough for these videos, months of headache iv had trying to solve this exact issue, firing on all cylinders now 🚀
Good! Happy to help.
great video. im hoping this helps with my current problems. thx for sharing.
Oil filter housing had same problem with transit derek 🤔🤔new one required keep up the good work nice gloves👍
Never had a problem with the Fusions!

Seems like it. It was readily available at the Spares shop, and on line!

@@DoubleZeroGarage Yup, there is always a fiddle somewhere!
Been following..but pity you didn't pin point the problem..was it the pipe to the turbo ..or actuator..or one of the sensors..great video thou..

So long as it stays on! Wearing lots of jumpers, and it's not that cold yet!
Luv it, hands on a van that can let you tinker. Keep it up

@sleepycatpictures1176 perfect that is handy to know👌thank you verty much for the replies🙏🙏
@@GhostTrader37 Hope it helps.
So, what was causing the power loss after all that ? Thanks.
MAF sensor and a broken boost pipe from the turbo. Broken ignition switch did not help neither!

Bet you were an engineer in your work days.
No, not quite. Just always skint so I had to learn how to do myself!
