Power Loss in Citroen C5
(Translated from Greek)
Summary of the thread
A 2003 Citroen C5 with 300,000 kilometers is experiencing engine power loss, particularly at low revs, requiring the gas pedal to be fully pressed to move. Initial suggestions included checking the air filter, fuel filter, and spark plugs, all of which were found to be in good condition. Further advice was given to inspect and clean the throttle body and Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, as issues with these components can affect engine performance, especially at low revs.

Check the air filter first to ensure it's not clogged, as this can restrict airflow and cause power loss. Let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.
Good morning. The air filter is new.

Inspect the fuel filter next, as a clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow and lead to power loss. If the filter hasn't been replaced recently, it might be worth changing it. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions.

And I've put this in new
Check the spark plugs and ignition system for any signs of wear or damage, as faulty spark plugs can cause power loss. If they haven't been replaced in a while, consider changing them. Let me know if this helps or if you have more questions.

Inspect the throttle body for any carbon buildup or dirt, as this can affect engine performance. Cleaning it might help restore power. Please update me on your progress or if you have any other questions.

I have cleaned it and it's okay. It does this to me at low revs; when it works above 2500 revs it works normally.

I haven't looked at this. I will clean it up and we will talk again.
