just noticed this morn, whilst driving with foot right down on accelorator i lose power, hasnt happened before, im driving a picasso xzara 2.0 hdi. last week the mechanic told me i needed a new crank shaft pulley fitted so im going to get this done next week. would it have anything to do with the crank shaft pulley ? what would be doing this ? also could i take a chance and wait untill a few months to get new or 2nd hand crank shaft pulley as i really havent the money now, car is due an m.o.t this month.

any advice much appreciated THANKS GUYS.

Would that be the fan belt pulley on the crankshaft?

Must be a well used car! I thought picasso's were fairly new. They don't make cars the same anymore some are that compact when you open the bonnet you cant get your hand in to change a bulb. I have a 18yo corsa and only recently has it needed replacement parts after 18 years. and they were things that should rely be replaced each year but never have been anyway!

I had the exact same problem with my Peugeot 206 and it turned out to be the fuel injector.

I would take it to a garage and ask for a diagnostic test. That should pin-point the problem/s.

Good luck

vallaw yes it is the fan belt pulley on the crank shaft. i dont think its the clutch. the car is deisel so how could it be fuel injectors ?
