MK7 Transit RWD 2.4 engine
Drove my van last night and for some reason it wouldn't go over 30 as it was like someone was pressing the brake pedal. It had the oil and filters changed 2 months ago. So I drove home slowly......
and this morning I called out the AA, (very nice man)
He put his diagnosis machine on the van and there were NO fault codes found, we took it for a drive and at first he thought it was a problem with no airflow so he undone the air filter- no change
We parked up and rev'd the engine and it revs up ok.
Thought it might be a blocked Cat but not sure.
He then took it for a drive and when it reaches 25-30mph it seems like someone is pressing the brake pedal.
He jacked up each wheel and they turn freely, he also tested the wheels/brakes for temperature.
He told me to take it to my local garage so that they can put it on a rolling road.
He doesn't know what is wrong with it.
Has anyone else had the same problem or know what could be wrong with it?
Something seems to be 'grinding' holding the van back.
