Hello all
i have a 1997 300TDI disco which has developed a strange loss of power. When started from cold it really seems to struggle to get going and then after 2-3miles will cut out completely. It restarts after a bit of cranking and then runs absolutely fine.
Theres no smoke that I can see coming from the exhaust and it feels like its running out of fuel and won't rev until it cuts out. Then with a bit of cranking (usually starts on first crank when its running properly) it fires up again like its been struggling for fuel then runs fine.
I've done a bit of hunting around about the problem and I am guessing that it might be the lift pump??! Would that sound about right to you gents? the sediment filter has been removed prior to my ownership.
My other thoughts were possibly a blocked filter but why does it run fine after its been restarted??
Cheers
