yes put your foot down and the car will go faster. I take it that you have a concern regarding your car. Tell the whole story with as much detail as you can and youl get a good choice of answers

you should hear your turbo spooling up as you floor the pedal

Are you having probs with your turbo

You could do a "search" on this forum for turbos

I did a wee search and came up with this... http://www.citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/index.php?showtopic=1804&st=0&p=8251&hl=turbos&fromsearch=1entry8251

No doubt someone with more knowledge about turbos will post on this and help you out..good luck

When I put my foot down it does go faster but not like it has a turbo, 2 of my friends have a Zafira and a Signum and and their cars seem a lot more responsive than mine, I dont hear any noise when I floor it but it does pick up speed. Its a 02 reg, 86,000 miles there are no warning lights and no other symptoms, it might just be me, but I thought it would have a bit more kick when its floored,

Hi Baz,

 

Sometimes this happens because the intake manifold between the turbo and the engine inlet is not air tight. The air compressed by the turbo leaks away and the engine does not benefit.

 

Look for an air hose with a jubilee clip off or not connected properly. Check all the hoses.

 

Then maybe have a look to see if the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor is clear. It's easy to check it takes 10 minutes to get it off.

 

Do NOT touch the components in the MAF sensor or you risk breaking them!
