Mk6 90/350 w reg Luton. Very slow van. Please help tryed loa

Postby bigvan » Thu Oct 09, 2014 10:43 pm

I have just bought a transit 90/350 Luton on a w reg. the van seems fine but very slow and as soon at it sees a hill it just struggles to get up it. I have changed the turbo thinking it could have been this and change the fuel filter and checked the timing but it still struggles to do over 50mph. And will only do 20mph up any hill. Please help me solve this problem. Was thinking the cat may be blocked.?

get codes read with IDS...
also does glow plug light flash at any time? and does it come on for a second or 2 on cold start up as its possible someone has removed the bulb to hide up a problem..

Thought the speed limit was up to 70mph for a 3.5t luton :?
