Hello friends,
I'm sure this has been asked countless times, but I'm special and I want my own thread
2005 (05) Lwb RWD 90hp.
Ok, so I've had the van 3 years, and it's been pretty much trouble free....apart from a dicky starter/ring gear?? and maybe a lethargic timing tensioner (starts on button from cold, that's a lie, I always give it two glow cycles, 3 in the depths of winter)
Anyway, once started it has always ran perfect, apart from it being slightly low in the power dept. (it's a 90)
So, back to yesterday, it starts ok, but is quite loud, Diesel knock loud, and low on power, it wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding and struggled on hills.
At one point on the road the loudness abated, until I accelerated again.
What have I done? Well, not much really, I have whipped the EGR off, it was pretty clean so refitted, I have poked about the turbo wastegate rod, it is not seized, I really don't know what is wrong as I hear of pump issues, injector issues, turbo issues.
I'd love some advice from anyone as to where I go from here, please.
Thankyou kindly.
