3.0d doesn't works properly at high rpm
 

It's a couple of week that my x 3.0d when arrive at around 3.000rpm, doesn't go ahead. It's like an electronic cut of the engine, I don't know what it could be. Some friend tell me that could be the "debimeter" but at low revs the motor is ok, only at around 3.000 it stops and go beeing not possible going on more rpm (sorry for my english)! I want to know if someoneelse has had this problem, bye.:mad:

Something sounds wrong, possibly with the ECU. Assuming you have an automatic transmission, is this happening in the Sportronic shifting mode or automatic? I know for certain the 3.0 can easily get in excess of 6000+ RPM, I had mine redlined just the other day. Maybe someone on this board will have more technical advice if not go see the dealer.

Any warning lights on?

Is the turbo working?

Yes, turbo is working.
The trouble semms to be the same of the limit rpm cut but now it is at 3.000rpm!

Most probably a turbo hose problem, had similar problem with mine...how many kms have your vehicle done??

We have had this problem here with some customers 3.0D!Most of the time its a MAF problem(debimeter),on other occasions its a problem with the fuel pressure sensor on your Common Rail!
Both faults show up on a Diagnostic machine,so my suggestion is to take it to the dealer or someone with Dis to confirm which fault it is.

just a dumb question, whats a debimeter?:dunno:

I don't think it's a turbo problem, because under that rpm the car is fantastic.
My kilometers are around 42.000, not so much.
bye

Debimeter is me trying to put it in Cimbro's own words!The correct name is MAF,which is your air flow sensor on your air supply.It informs the ECU (computer) on the volume of air going into the engine.

had the same problem!!!! waaahh!!!
 

guys, had the same problem on my x5 diesel.. just early this afternoon, as i head for the open road, floored my x5 then the rpm just stopped and wiggled at 3,000 rpms... then it won't go up.. and my speed is stuck at 90-100 kph... but when i drive the x5 normally, no flooring, it works just fine... what seems to be the problem??? waaahh!!! exactly the same problem as cimbro...
