hi there, new member, not the brightest so bear with me!
I have a 54 plate twin axle 16 seat minibus, it's a 2.4di 90 with 118k full history and very well looked after.
recently it seems to be down on power, almost like it's in a kind of limp mode, but not actually going or recording limp. when driving on the flat or uphill she is really sluggish, and really doesn't want to go over 3000rpm. but when on a downhill she will run over 3000rpm. any moderate incline and she's down to 45mph. when i pull off in 1st gear she will go over 3000rpm but you can feel she doesn't want to.
then the next day she will drive normal and pull like a train in every gear!!! more often than not she will run like 1st described. wastegate actuator valve has been checked and working fine. diagnostic plugged in and no fault codes registered.
really hoping you transit geniuses will be able to help me out here.
best regards,
james.
