Yes, your description aligns precisely with what I'm seeing. The engine does seem to struggle. The issue is more pronounced at lower speeds and under load, like going uphill. How did you resolve your issue?

I didn't manage to fix it myself. I took it to a workshop as soon as I could. They confirmed it was the intake manifold and replaced the faulty parts. Runs like new again now.

Thanks, your experience confirms my suspicions. I'll arrange for professional diagnosis and repair, expecting a similar intake manifold issue. The estimated cost is 465€.

FULLBACK

I've had very similar symptoms with my Fullback. Reduced power and a hissing noise definitely sound familiar. Was it like the engine was struggling to breathe properly? Did you notice it more at certain speeds or when going uphill?
