My 207 1.6 Sport (2007) has suddenly started to exhibit a loss of power between 2.5k and 3k revs. There are no warning lights on the dash, and the warning log is empty. It seems to be ok up 'til about 2.5k revs. Overtaking has become painful. It will still get up to speed - it just takes a lot longer than it did a week ago.
I've checked the oil and refuelled (just in case it was due to bad petrol). When I accelerate hard - especially in the higher gears - I hear what I think is a sucking sound. It's hard to tell over the engine noise at high rpms.
It looks like I'll need to trade the car in soon (I need a bigger, family car), so I could really do without spending big money on it.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?
I did a lot of googling/searching before posting, but things are no clearer. I've read about the "limp home mode", but I'm not sure if that's what I'm experiencing.
Thanks for any help/info.
