scott1974 New Member Last Online: May 7th, 2021 23:00 Join Date: Aug 2019 Location: newstead village	V70 1.6DRIVe low on power I'm wondering if any one can give me any pointers on what the problem could be. I've had a V70 1.6 DRIVe for 5 days and it's been low on power since day one. First of all I should point out that the car has done 217000 miles so this could well be the problem. It was a company car and came with full history and had a new turbo last year. If i'm very gentle with the throttle it does pick up but sometimes even that is an effort. If i plant the throttle there is pretty much no responce and it takes an age to get anywhere. I really have to work the revs and the turbo only really works 2500 revs onwards. The car does nothing below that. Even a slight incline has me dropping down the gears. Has anyone had any experience of these engines doing high miles or could it be something as simple as a sensor. Any help or guidence is very much appreciated. Scott
