restricted ?

hi
im new to the forum,
i was looking for the answer to my question on the internet when i came across the forum,
I have a. a 55 plate ,short wheel, standard height
100 300,
im the 2nd owner,
my problem is,,
that it has no acceleration at all compared to my mates 100 280.
could it be that the gearbox is a differant ratio
or the engine is restricted ?????????

Limiters dont affect the acceleration.Have you checked for codes?

[seadog]

i havent checked anything as yet
i just wondered if it was a simple reason

When did it last get a proper service with all filters? Have you blanked the egr? Is it carrying more weight than your mates? Is one of your brakes sticking on?

it had a full service prior to purchace 6 months ago,
the weight carried is comparible,
what is the egr ?????

Mine was too, found out it was the timing chain on fuel pump slightly out and it had gone into limp mode, just feels like no turbo and very sluggish!

turbo wastegate could be stuck.
or injectors need a refurb.

cant see that, if fuel pumps out either way slightly it just gives a lot of diesel knock, aswell as less power.

Would have thought the electronic pump control compensated for small variations? or does it have a limit to how far it can cope in which case we'd expect to see a management light on?

Either way an electronic hook up would be a good place to start along with a good quality cleaning additive, I allways distrust wonder potions but I've "fixed" 2 dodgy runners with cleaning addives recently - and a darn sight cheaper than a pump!

Oh and don't use shitty supermarket diesel!
