Hi
Mine does the same but under hard acceleration the car behind dissapears in a cloud of black smoke. Currently complaining to the dealer about poor fuel consumption, 36 average 40 on a run might all be related.

Hi Andy
Sounds exactly the same as mine. Have you made any progress with your dealer?

Hi Jeremy
Took it in to the dealer today and they did the usual stuck it on the computer and said "there's no fault codes showing" what happened to good old mechanics with expert knowledge? Anyway after much badgering they have (reluctantly) changed the MAF admitting that this can be faulty but not show on the diagnostics, what other faults can there be that don't show on the diagnostics quite a few I would think after all these are ordinary vehicles not Formula 1 and they certainly do not monitor all of the parameters, any way I'll keep all posted with the outcome.

Could also check for boost leak, i.e. split pipe, this will overfuel the engine and power will be down.
