I have purchased a2006 2.7 litre V6twin turbo diesel C 6 Citroen, with 147000 kms. Engine runs really well under load, but sometimes misses and surges on the float. This happens 80% of the time.

I have purchased a 2006 2.7 litre V6 twin turbo diesel,C6 Citroen, with 147000 kms on the speedo. It is in excellent condition but I have a problem. The motor runs very well with load on in, with acceleration, and okay on deceleration. 80% of the time when cruising on the float speed the engine is missing sometimes and surging. It's only when no load is applied. Can anybody help me? Alwyn

Fuel filter possibly clogged, or a fuel pump problem.
But the first thing I'd try is the next time it happens pull over and slowly unscrew the gas cap. If you hear air being sucked in you have a Vapor Lock problem. A vent hole is plugged, = new gas cap.
Has it got a carborator or fuel injection ? If a carborator then have that checked out.

SOURCE: S80 engine surge at idle

You could have a bad or contaminated Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. You can get a used one online for less then 100. You can also purchase a can of MAF sensor cleaner at a local auto supplies store and clean it. It located right at the air filter housing.

Check your TPS Throttle positioning sensor. Sounds like it has a dead spot in it or it is failing. May also be a wiring harness issue or loose connection at TPS too! If its intermittent then it will soon go out completely. It should be located on your fuel pedal. Remove it and check it with an ohm meter. Check resistance all the way thru from 0-100 percent. When it is not working it should do nothing and show no resistance. When it is working the resistance value will increase and or decrease as you turn the sensor.

1.9 diesel VW with a non working turbo is it OK to drive anyway ?

Personally I would NOT drive it. Get the turbo repaired/replaced! Modern vehicles have engine sensors that will cause even more running problems as they aren't detecting the turbo doing it's job.
Diesels will run without a turbo but they are usually ridiculously slow and really really struggle to accelerate.This is especially true on smaller diesel engines like those you get in cars and smaller vehicles. I had a turbo fail on a 2.0 litre diesel engine and with my foot hard down it took me well over a minute to hit 50mph, and that was before I got to any hills.

Please tell me the engine specification of Tata Nexon. Does it is coming in the automatic as well as CNG version in India?

Tata Nexon is the subcompact 4-metre SUV from the Tata Motors, which has created a lot of buzz even before its launch. I don't expect the Tata Nexon gets a CNG kit and it only offered 6-speed manual transmission. Here I specify some of the Tata Nexon specifications, have a look

=> It is available in both the engine. The petrol variants carry 1.2-litre Revotron which produces 110 bhp of power & 15-17kmpl of mileage while diesel have 4-cylinder 1.5-litre Revotorq engine which makes 110 bhp of power & 21-23kmpl mileage.

=> 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, dual front airbags & reverse parking sensors

=> Three drive modes Eco, City and Sport
