Hi, I have an Opel Astra 1.6IE 1996 model My car lacks power, I have to rev it all the way and drop the clutch to pull away when parked uphill and the it only pulls away slowly. It has been checked for timing, diesel in my tank, it is recently serviced, it does not smoke, no strange noises and the clutch is not slipping. Any ideas what might be the problem?

Thanks, I had it at a mechanic and he says that the compression is fine. I have read something about an EGR Valve that might be stuck. Any ideas what that is?

Problem solved, the key on the crnk is worn out and also the pulley on the crank that the cambelt runs on. They say I need a new crank. Problem solved, the key on the crnk is worn out and also the pulley on the crank that the cambelt runs on. They say I need a new crank.
