OT kangoo problem
This one has got me pretty much stumped.
My grandad has a mobility converted Renault kangoo 1.6 automatic. Occasionally when applying the brakes the engine will rev up and being an auto, the
car will try to accelerate for a split second. He took it into Renault who told him it was the exhauster? (something i have never heard of).
Does anyone know what this 'exhauster' and whether it could be causing this problem?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

My mum had a Citroen berlingo which is pretty much the same car and she had a simular problem but hers, turned out to be the exhaust recircualtion
valve, I dont know anymore than that other than it was repaired under warranty and they didnt seem suprised that it had gone so I would assume that
its a common problem, Sorry I cant help
any further than that.
P.S. It was a 1.9 non turbo diesel if thats any help.

could it be linked to the servo as these are generally tapped into the inlet manifold a failed seal would allow more air into the inlet tract on

My first thought was split servo diaphram, causing an air leak.

The cars only done 5k. Could the servo really be damaged this early (i know its french but still)
