Hi my car seems to to hold back a bit and doesn't seem to get full power just seems a bit restricted and sergy checked fault codes and I've got fault code 13 engine temperature but this seems a bit vague could this be causing my issues and if so where do I start to fix this issue?
Thanks

Take a look at the engine temperature sensor on the back of the block (above the oil filter IIRC) if that's what it's telling you is malfunctioning?

Im with pobody on this if its running rich all the time ( the ecu thinks its a cold engine ) it needs to be sorted first .Then go through the list :thumbsup:

Bit more info on my problem the car seems to drive ok under normal throttle but when I hold it flat out the car gets to around 4-5 k and it's like hitting a wall holds back and struggles any ideas?

Car's in safe mode (short a couple of contacts will reset ecu).... reset fault code and try the car again. If it's the same code, replace the sensor.
Do a rearch on the forum if need be... ;-)
