V70: General - no torque

barkster1971 · Jan 7th, 2024, 16:58

Bit of a weird one, where I am in Lincolnshire is flat as a pancake. When I went to see my folks I crossed the Pennines on the M62 and the car would not accelerate going up hill. I had my foot planted and it was reducing in speed going up hill. The revs were going up slowly but not the speed.
Again coming home it was really struggling going up hill.
Then last night I had a bad flat spot about 55mph for about 5 seconds this was on a flat A17.
It accelerates fine at lower speeds . The clutch seems fine.
We changed the glow plugs and put the little black rod back on for the swirl flap actuuator
No codes have come up. Nothing on the dash. It's a 2008 V70 diesel 2.4.
No smoke from the exhaust. Doing about 43-44mpg.

If you have temperature sensors in the exhaust it could be one of these giving you problems.

Check intercooler hoses for small hole or split.

If it's not the clutch, then how could the revs go up but not the speed?

I thought the same. Since the clutch is mentioned it's probably not an automatic, which otherwise could have released the lockup.

If it was the clutch then surely it would slip at all speeds and conditions. it accelerates fine ( without slipping) at lower speeds. i'll double check though just to be sure. It's a manual !
