V50 Engine 2.0D : - Anyone had these symptoms?

blacklab · Mar 21st, 2019, 20:36

Hi
I got in my V50 2.0d, 2005, tonight and when I pulled away it kangarooed really badly in 1st and 2nd then stopped doing it once I was on my way.
I parked up when I got to where I was going and about half an hour later I started up and it drove nicely like it normally does without any problem.
I haven’t looked yet but I’m thinking the throttle body/flap could be gummed up, I changed it a few years ago so I’m aware of the sticking flap issue.
There are no messages or lights up.

Just wondered if anyone has had these symptoms?

Many thanks in advance.

I have this problem with my v50 also. I find out the inlet flap was for a very unkown reason controlled (really from the ecm!) . Replaced and test a lot of things. But the only thing that works (as workarround) was disconnecting the soleniod valve to the flap. Just unplugged the electrical wire and no problems so far...

Thanks. Will be interesting to see if it returns. Will have a look to see if the flap is sticking.
