Hello, I have just bought a Renault Trafic 2001 but the van is losing power and the mechanics don't know why. When I am driving along, the power goes (the engine stays running) but I have to take my foot off of the accelerator and put it back on again to get the power back but no service light comes on. It's costing me a fortune at the garage have you any ideas please? Thank you Lindsey
Hi i have a renult trafic i was told to buy an egr valve , map sensor , and a glow plug relay problem was still there got **** of with it spending money, i found the problem myself were your ( EGR VALVE IS THERE IS A SMALL NIPPLE AT THE BACK OF IT THERE IS A TUBE ON IT THAT GOES TO A THING CALL A MAP SENSOR PULL THE TUBE OF THE BACK OF THE EGR VALVE AND THAT NIPPLE WILL BE BLOCKED UP, THAT WILL SORT THAT OUT FOR U.
Sounds as thought it might be a blocked exhaust system.
the catalitic convertor may have broken down and blocked the exhaust pipe
Renault scenic why does it lose power wheh i am driving

i have a 2004 traffic 1.9dci and mine does this and wont go above 20mph now. I have just fitted a new EGR valve and air flow mass sensor (dont get a cheap one), got the EGR off ebay and the air mass from motor factors, nut make sure before you buy 'cos you wont be entitlied to a refund!! got my cat checked and this was fine. When in neutral mine now judders at 2500rpm, lets out a puff of blue smoke for a second then shoots round to 4000rpm.
