Postby beve1876 » Mon Apr 17, 2017 5:08 pm

After 2 long runs with the band,i have noticed after driving for 21/2 hrs the van starts to lose power!(feels like it wants to go but cant)wee bit of a hill and the thing is down to 30 mph until you hit a straight then it builds up speed but still feels like its towing a hoose.any ideas??Cheers:)

Open up the pump, if not already done. Details are on the search.
