2010 Vauxhall Vivaro lack of power at low revs.

Car: Vauxhall Vivaro
Year: 2010
Variant: Sportive
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
When pulling away seems to be lack of power until turbo comes in and when changing up feels a bit like a flat spot until revs pick up. Normally when pulling away it has a nice steady pull all the way up through the gears.

check for any split or damaged vac and inter cooler pipes check air filter and mass air flow sensor for contamination also check pipes to turbo control valve

Could be down to carbon build up.
Have you tried an engine carbon clean service?
I offer a mobile service in the Herts, Beds and Cambs areas using hydrogen technology which removes carbon build up from the areas that really matter such as turbo's, combustion chamber, valves, injectors, manifold, dpf, egr and cat.
I get a lot of vivaro vans with running issues due to carbon build up and injector problems. My service clears these every time leaving the engine revitalised with increased power, performance and fuel efficiency.
Its a non invasive service which uses no chemicals and is very cost effective.
