Hi Folks, Sorry about the empty post below, An over zealous finger done the deed!. Anyway, I have a problem with my Astra dti 1.7. Having drove another (albeit younger car) I have noticed that mine doesnt have the `Go` in it that the younger car had. Mine seems to take forever when pulling away unless huge bootfulls of throttle are given with higher revs. No problems were reported when it was in for a diagnostic check 9 months ago. Am I right in being told that the MAF might be the problem? No undue wear is apparent on the engine ie. no oil or water consumption and just recently serviced, filters etc (original Vauxhall parts used) and no undue fuel consumption. If it is the MAF is there any way of confirming it?.......Gordon.
