Only mine has become very sluggish lately (its never been fast but always done the job) Now seems to really struggle on hills. Had a few comments that the engine size is not big enough so wondered what others thought?
does anyone have a 3.5 tonne horsebox with a 2.2 engine?

we've got a 2.4l 3.5ton renault master conversion and it has no problem at all - maybe have a look at the age ??? older vehicles can tend to loose power :\

How's the clutch? If it is starting to slip you will struggle on hills. Only asking as mine has just started to slip a bit in 3rd, so hills I used to do in 3rd now need to be done in 2nd

Check the wastegate on the turbo as everything else appears 'normal' & otherwise it goes ok.
Sound likely that this is the problem.
Good luck

EGR valve - it's what sucks the air in. The flaps could blocked, and it's a common fault with those by all accounts...
Or.....could be the turbo...is it boosting? Is the gate valve working? ^^^Like TFF said!^^^ also check the pipes to the turbo...
Get it plugged into a computer, this might help diagnose the problem!
