I had a Renault traffic for 5 years from new many years ago and gotta say was a great van. It all connects to electrical system where you can lose power, it happened to me driving I lost power then the engine went off, started it up again was ok then lost power had to get rac tow it to Renault garage. They had it for 2 weeks as don't have them in stock had to order from the main company in France. Stick with Ford as I have transit custom parts same day if needed

Just for you Smudger

Thx for the info Danny - food for thought as most sources of info point towards MAF sensor or ERG valve

The AA bloke checked the pedal sensor, apparently it's the first thing they check...

Is engine management light on if so plug it in and you will know for sure, sound like the car is in limp mode map sensor would normally throw a light up as would eve valve, if there's no light and it feals like its being starved of fuel it could very well be a clogged fuel filter, if you haven't serviced it in a while you should do this anyways,

Thanks Michael. The engine management light was on constant (not flashing) but when the AA bloke plugged his fault reader in it didn't come up with any faults??  ???

Can you drive it just on the clutch? Does it move, i know you cant rev but could you get it moving?

I tried to drive it to the garage (with the AA guy behind) but as soon as I came to even the slightest incline the engine died.

Why do you ask?

They think it's the cam sensor. Changing it tomorrow/Monday. Fuel pump and injectors have been tested and they're ok (phew)

An old trafic of ours did this a while back. Low revs and wouldnt go over 35. It turned out needing a new turbo.

Done this, awaiting vauxhall head office response unfortunately the van is 7 yrs and 8 months old, vauxhall will only do something for under 7 yrs even tho it's a design fault.

The local dealership will change all the injectors for "a discounted price" of £1700 plus vat but if they crack the head (50/50 chance) due to injectors being corroded ( due to design fault ) I'll have to pay another £1200 plus vat on top  :-X

Happy days ....  :-\
