2.0 JTS problem - sooty exhaust/little power
Discussion
Mentioned this before but still not got around to taking the car in. 156 SW 2.0JTS on a 05 plate.
- After 3500 rpm engine seems to go flat on power or even less power.
- Noticed today that the exhaust is very sooty
- Trip computer is showing my average MPG as 27.4 over last 2000miles.
Somebody mentioned a knackered oxygen sensor before, so after 3500 not enough oxygen is being let in resulting in unburnt hydrocarbon deposit in exhaust system. Does this add up?
Opinions/comments welcome.
